Project Overview

Field-based operational research conducted under the Punjab Fisheries Department development scheme focused on the economic and biological feasibility of cage aquaculture in freshwater reservoirs across the Potohar region.

Operational Scope & Responsibilities

  • Water Chemistry Telemetry: Monitored real-time water quality parameters including dissolved oxygen, pH, water temperature, hardness, and total ammonia.
  • Husbandry & Biosecurity: Supervised feeding regimes, fish handling, and surveillance protocols against common parasitic and freshwater pathogens.
  • Production Metrics: Evaluated feed conversion ratios (FCR) and biological growth data to draft administrative operational assessments.
