Hapa Nets for Mass Fingerling Hatchery Production
The "Hapa Nets for Mass Fingerling Hatchery Production" technology i a cage-like enclosures (referred to as "hapa" nets) placed within ponds to safeguard and manage brooders, hatchlings, and juvenile fish. The hapa nets come in various shapes and sizes, using materials like wooden poles and mesh nets, offering an affordable solution for hatcheries of all sizes. The nets require periodic maintenance to ensure effective functionality, but they significantly improve the management and production of fingerlings for the aquaculture industry. These nets are designed to shield fish from predators, ensuring better control over breeding, feeding, and aeration. They provide a conducive environment for fish growth, resulting in enhanced fertilization rates, reduced mortality, and increased production of fry and fingerlings. This technology is well-suited for various aquaculture species and adaptable to different water bodies such as earthen ponds, riverbeds, or concrete tanks.
This technology is TAAT1 validated.
