High-Yield Pangasius Catfish (Basa)
Commercial aquaculture blueprint covering target water quality tolerances, extruded floating pellet nutrition, biosecure disease prophylaxis, and PMMSY 40%–60% capital grant eligibility.
Earthen Fish Pond with Paddle Wheel Aerators
Tailored to maintain high biomass carrying capacity, dissolved oxygen stability, and non-stress environmental conditions.
- Highest biomass yielding fish species in India: Produces 10 to 14 Metric Tons per acre in a single 7-month cycle
- Air-breathing capacity: Endures lower dissolved oxygen levels that would prove fatal to carps
- Rapid growth rate: Reaches 1.0 kg to 1.3 kg harvest weight in just 180 to 210 days
- Nationwide market demand: Highly sought after by boneless fillet processing companies, caterers, and wholesale mandis
Stocking Density & Survival Targets
Target Water Chemistry Parameters
Daily monitoring thresholds required to avoid ammonia toxicity, gill asphyxiation, and stress-induced mortalities.
Precision Extruded Pellet Feeding Schedule
Optimized crude protein and feeding frequencies across life stages to minimize feed wastage and maximize growth velocity.
| Life Stage | Duration | Crude Protein (CP %) | Feed Type & Pellet Size | Feeding Rate (% Biomass) | Feeding Frequency |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Nursery Stocking Phase | Month 1 | 32% CP | 1.5 mm floating pellets | 5% of biomass | 3 times / day |
| Grow-out Bulking Phase | Month 2 to Month 7 | 26% – 28% CP | 2.5 mm to 4.0 mm floating extruded pellets | 2.5% to 3.5% of biomass | 2 times / day |

5 Golden Aquaculture Rules for High-Yield Pangasius Catfish (Basa)
Maintain minimum water depth of 1.8 meters with clean borewell or canal replenishment to handle heavy biomass loads.
Install minimum 2 sets of 2 HP paddle wheel aerators per acre to keep bottom sediment aerated and prevent gas pockets.
Feed exclusively extruded floating pellet feeds; sinking mash feeds foul pond bottoms and cause severe ammonia spikes.
Harvest in batches using large mesh drag nets when fish reach 1.1 kg to prevent market price depreciation from over-sized fish.
