Establish Nucleus Breeding Centres and Brood Banks for quality fish seed

Under the Pradhan Mantri Matsya Sampada Yojana (PMMSY), the government is establishing Nucleus Breeding Centres (NBCs) - including for self-reliance in shrimp broodstock - and a national network of Brood Banks for commercially important species, complemented by integrated aquaparks built on a hub-and-spoke model for quality brood, seed and feed. These are aimed at raising aquaculture productivity and reducing import dependence for broodstock. Build-out is under way across states, so the pledge is in active delivery. Partial (strong action).
