Odisha CHSE +2 Vocational Inland Fisheries study plan

Recall and write the standard formulae for pond area, volume, and water requirement, and solve three numerical problems without notes.

List the five soil types used in pond construction and explain their suitability for embankment and bottom.

Explain the procedures for soil pH and lime requirement testing and state the recommended lime dose for acidic soils.

Describe the water quality parameters (temperature, DO, pH, alkalinity, hardness, ammonia, nitrite) and their acceptable ranges for carp culture.

Explain the steps in site selection, pond layout, and construction of embankments, inlet, and outlet for a composite fish culture pond.

Outline the design and operation of a fish seed hatchery, including brood stock management, induced breeding, and incubation.

Describe nursery and rearing pond preparation, including eradication of predators, fertilization, and stocking density.

Compare the different types of hatcheries (e.g., Chinese circular hatchery, double-walled hatchery) and their components.

Identify the major feed ingredients (rice bran, oil cakes, fish meal, etc.) and state their crude protein, lipid, and fibre contents.

Formulate a practical supplementary feed using the Pearson square method for a specified protein level and calculate the cost per kg.

Explain the feeding practices: ration size, frequency, feeding methods, and adjustment for water temperature and fish biomass.

Describe the signs of overfeeding and underfeeding and their impact on water quality and fish growth.

List the common bacterial, viral, fungal, and parasitic diseases of Indian major carps and exotic carps with their causative agents and symptoms.

Explain the procedures for disease diagnosis: clinical signs, wet mount examination, and basic laboratory tests.

Describe biosecurity measures for fish farms, including quarantine, disinfection, and restricted movement.

Outline treatment and control measures for at least three major diseases, including approved chemicals and antibiotics.

Classify inland fisheries resources of Odisha (rivers, reservoirs, tanks, brackish water) and state their production potential.

Describe the different aquaculture systems (pond, cage, pen, integrated) and their suitability for Odisha.

Explain fish taxonomy: classification of major freshwater fishes of Odisha up to species level using morphological characters.

Describe the anatomy of digestive, respiratory, and reproductive systems of a typical carp and relate structure to function.

Explain the principles of reservoir and riverine fisheries management, including stocking, fishing regulations, and habitat restoration.

Describe the capture methods used in reservoirs and rivers (gill nets, traps, etc.) and their selectivity.

Outline post-harvest handling practices to maintain fish quality: chilling, icing, and hygienic transportation.

Explain fish processing methods: drying, smoking, canning, and value-added products (fish pickle, fish balls, etc.).

Calculate the cost of production for a one-hectare pond, including fixed and variable costs, and determine break-even price.

Explain the marketing channels for fish in Odisha and the role of cooperatives and self-help groups.

Prepare a bankable project proposal for a small-scale fish farming venture, including technical and financial feasibility.

Solve basic numerical problems in fisheries (e.g., stocking density, feed conversion ratio, growth rate) using mathematical formulae.

Demonstrate practical skills: water quality testing (DO, pH, ammonia), fish handling, and disease sampling.

Review all domains through practice questions and identify weak areas for final revision.

Compile a field work report based on a hypothetical farm visit, including observations and recommendations.

Take a full-length mock exam under timed conditions and achieve at least 70%.
