The main objective of the MoU signed with the university is to evaluate the nano-sensors for sustainable intensification of the different aquaculture systems

The ICAR-Central Institute of Brackishwater Aquaculture, Chennai signed the two Memorandums of Understanding (MoUs) with the Hindustan University of Technology and Science, Chennai and AA Biotech, Chennai for collaborative research.

Dr KP Jithendran, Director, ICAR-CIBA, Chennai emphasised the significance of the collaborative research and validation of the technology between a research institution, academic university and aquaculture entrepreneur that would facilitate knowledge sharing, technology validation and popularisation of the broad spectrum of the techniques available in the institute.

Dr K Nandakumar, Director of Research (who signed the MoU) on the behalf of Hindustan University, Chennai stated that through the partnership, the specialized capacities of both the Institutions would aid in the application of the nano-Sensors for sustainable intensification of the different aquaculture systems.

Udaya Ram Jothy, CEO, AA Biotech said that the water testing protocol would address the farm level issues like a human error in testing water quality parameters, rapid detection, geo-location and option for rectifying errors in tests with a reasonable cost.

The main objective of the MoU signed with the university is to evaluate the nano-sensors for sustainable intensification of the different aquaculture systems like RAS and Biofloc-based systems and synthesis of the nanoparticles for the targeted therapy and protein/peptide characterisation. The MoU with the AA Biotechis aimed at the calibration and validation of the water quality testing protocol in aquaculture.

The products were produced and marketed by Alpha Biologicals, Nellore, Andhra Pradesh

The ICAR-Central Institute of Brackishwater Aquaculture, Chennai has launched its technology products for “Mitigation of Nitrite Metabolite in Shrimp Ponds and Control of External Parasite in Fish. The products were produced and marketed by Alpha Biologicals, Nellore, Andhra Pradesh.

Dr KP Jithendran, Director, ICAR-CIBA, Chennai stressed developing efficient products that are safe for the environment. Dr Amaraneni Ravi Kumar, Managing Partner, Alpha Biologicals emphasised the need for quality products to support aquaculture. He also underlined the field trials conducted across the country.

The NOVACIDE-ALF is an efficient oral preparation for controlling the crustacean parasites like Argulus spp., Caligus spp., Lernanthropsis spp. and Lernaea spp. in the different fish species in vivid culture systems, such as aquariums, ponds, cages, concrete tanks, FRP tanks and lakes with a wide range of salinities 0 to 30 ppt. The NOVATAN-AMS uses the formulation containing the enrichments of nitrite oxidising bacteria that are efficient in oxidising the toxic metabolite nitrite to non-toxic nitrate.

The company has started the commercial production of the products and is planning to market them in the major aquaculture states of the country.

The MoU will ensure the widespread availability of anti-methanogenic supplements across different parts of the country and seasons

ICAR-NIANP and Radiant Chem Industries, Chennai have entered a functional-industry linkage through a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) for undertaking collaborative research to develop the anti-methanogenic product (s) using industrially available tannins. The MoU was signed by Dr Raghavendra Director, ICAR-NIANP and Bharat Jain from Radiant Chem Industries, Chennai. To ensure the widespread availability of anti-methanogenic supplements across different parts of the country and seasons the MoU will play a key role.

The contribution of global cattle and buffaloes to the annual enteric methane emission is 77 and 13 per cent, respectively. India has about 13 per cent of the global population of cattle and 53 per cent of the global population of buffaloes and these account for 4.92 and 2.91 Tg of annual global enteric methane emission from the respective species.

ICAR-National Institute of Animal Nutrition and Physiology has carried out systematic and comprehensive research and developed phyto-sources based anti-methanogenic products such as Harit Dhara and Tamarin Plus.

The MoU will ensure the widespread availability
