English: Seed :- is one of the most important inputs of any farming activity, including aquaculture. The yield obtained from good quality, high-standard seed is assured. Due to the increase in fish/shrimp seed producers and suppliers, competition has intensified resulting in trading of low-quality seed by spurious dealers/traders. In order to ensure availability of good seed to its clients, UASG has started its own seed rearing centre as well as has partnerships with reputed, government-recognized hatcheries. UASG ensures that the seed obtained is of good quality and gives good results by first conducting rearing and growing trials in its own farms or the farms of its associates. Once the quality of seed is satisfactory, the seed is then promoted to clients of UASG.
