These activities included increasing fish seed production capacity of National Aquaculture Development Authority of Sri Lanka (NAQDA) through expanding hatchery capacities, increasing broodstock, nursery and rearing capacities, provision of new and improved brood-stocks, implementation of genetic improvement programmes and introduction of cryopreservation technology, establishment of community-based fish nurseries and promotion of small-scale fish nurseries managed by the private sector

Summary
Aquatic Resource Development and Quality Improvement project (ARDQIP) of the Ministry of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources Development of Sri Lanka, which was in operation during 2003-2010 period, implemented several activities aimed at enhancing fish seed production of the country. Under ARDQIP, 25 community-based mini-nurseries were established in 10 districts during 2004-2007 period (ARDQIP 2010), to demonstrate profitability of fish seed production and to motivate rural communities to get involved in fry-tofingerling rearing apart from meeting the fingerling requirement especially for the development of culture-based fisheries. Two mini-nurseries were established at Kirawana and Rajawewa in the Ampara district of the Eastern province of Sri Lanka.
