India is primarily an agricultural economy, with approximately 55% of the total workforce engaged in agriculture and related activities (Census 2011). The agricultural sector, including horticulture, aqua-culture, and fisheries, is essential for enhancing agricultural productivity and ensuring food security. Therefore, it is crucial to empower farmers with the necessary skills, knowledge, training, and mass awareness programs. This approach, known as capacity building (CB), can help alleviate hunger and malnutrition, ultimately contributing to the achievement of Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) #2: Zero Hunger by 2030.This book aims to present and highlight a selection of capacity building programs sponsored by national and international organizations, such as ICAR, NFDB (National Fisheries Development Board under the Ministry of Fisheries, Animal Husbandry, and Dairy), MANAGE (National Institute of Agricultural Extension Management), World Fish, USAID (United States Agency for International Development), and other institutional mechanisms.

This book is a comprehensive guide designed for fish farmers, aquaculture entrepreneurs, extension workers, and students involved in aquatic farming. It focuses on one of the most critical aspects of aquaculturewater quality managementand explains how proper monitoring and maintenance of water parameters can lead to healthy, productive, and profitable fish farming operations.The manual introduces and explains twenty-one essential water quality parameters, classified under physical, chemical, and biological categories. These include temperature, dissolved oxygen, pH, salinity, ammonia, nitrate, nitrite, and moreeach of which plays a vital role in the growth, health, and survival of cultured fish species. The book outlines the importance of each parameter, its ideal range, causes of fluctuation, and practical methods for testing and analysis.Special attention is given to helping new farmers and entrepreneurs understand the scientific basis behind water quality, while also offering hands-on methods that are cost-effective and easy to implement. By following the recommendations in this manual, farmers can ensure optimal pond conditions, reduce losses, and increase production sustainably.This book aims to bridge the gap between scientific knowledge and field-level application, making it an essential resource for anyone involved in aquaculture.

The edited book covers the climate change impact broadly across the ecosystems including increasing pressure on livelihood and food supplies to the society. Climate change, in particular, rising temperatures, can have both direct and indirect effects on global fish production. Fisheries and aquaculture is one of the important sectors of agriculture for livelihood and nutritional security. Fish, being poikilothermic in nature are very sensitive to any change in the ecosystem. In commercial aquaculture, it is crucial to ensure that environmental rearing conditions are adequate, if not optimal, for fish growth, welfare and profitability. Thus, the book develops an understanding regarding changes in relevant environmental parameters and its affect in the growth and physiological performance of fish. Fish feeds on natural food organisms, but the adverse changes in the ecosystem attracts nutritionists to provide better food and feeding strategies for optimum growth and survival of the fish. it is become necessary to develop preparedness about the changes and their mitigation strategies through fish nutrition and feeding strategies. This book addresses the potential impact of climate change on the aquaculture sector under sections - Assessment of Global Warming Impact on aquatic resources and fish production, Adaptation in Fish Digestive Physiology and Biochemistry under Changing Environment, Prioritization of fish feed technology with respect to changing climate for adaptation and mitigation, Strategies and planning on reproductive physiology and feed management for biodiversity conservation. The chapters are contributed by the experts in the field of fish nutrition and physiology. The book assists fish farmers, entrepreneurs, planners and advisors specifically related to nutritional and physico-biochemical changes in fishes to adapt or mitigate the adverse effect of climate change.
