Andhra Pradesh is the model and leading semi intensive carp culture (Kolleru carp culture) state in India. It is also recognized as a world class aquaculture site. In course of expansion and identification of the semi intensive Indian major carp over more than three decades, many economically important problems have been persistently identified which are threatening sustainability of the culture system. One of the most important of these is “deterioration of the brood stock and seed quality of Indian major carps. This is due to unscientific and improper brood stock selection, management and inbreeding depression which leads to retarded growth, poor reproductive performance, morphological deformities, increased incidence of diseases and mortality. The farmers of Andhra Pradesh determined to replace this lower quality seed with good genetic quality produced from genetically sound brood stock, to overcome the economic loss. For any sustainable and successful aquaculture, quality seed is the fundamental prerequisite, which in turn depends on quality of brood stock. The development and management of brood stock of Indian Major Carps is the need of the hour as they project major part of freshwater aqua production in this region. So it is the most important one to be tackled immediately to meet the need of the farmer, aqua industry and simultaneously the sustainability of the culture.
