Precise, renewable, circular aquaculture.
ICAR-CIBA precision shrimp farming, Black Soldier Fly feed, solar power with smart monitoring and Waste-to-Wealth — each assessed carefully and developed responsibly.
Advanced Shrimp Farming Through Vertical Expansion Using ICAR-CIBA SIPNSF Technology
More Production. Less Land. Smarter Aquaculture.
SIPNSF (Super-Intensive Precision and Natural Shrimp Farming) is a technology developed by ICAR–Central Institute of Brackishwater Aquaculture (ICAR-CIBA), Chennai. We are exploring its establishment along the coastal belt of Andhra Pradesh, assessing and adopting the approach where suitable.
Implementation is subject to technical feasibility, site suitability, required approvals and project financing.

Integrated farming and BSFL feed
Integrating aquaculture with agriculture, horticulture and livestock diversifies farm income and uses resources more efficiently. Black Soldier Fly Larvae (BSFL) farming is planned as a potential sustainable alternative protein ingredient for fish and shrimp feeds.
- Step 1
Farm by-products
Suitable aquaculture and farm residues are collected.
- Step 2
BSFL rearing
Larvae convert organic material into protein.
- Step 3
Feed ingredient
A potential protein source for fish and shrimp feed.
- Step 4
Back to the ponds
Closing the loop, aiming to lower feed cost and waste.
Solar-powered aquaculture with smart monitoring
We are advancing solar-powered aquaculture: renewable energy for aeration, pumping and farm infrastructure, with IoT-enabled smart monitoring and careful water management — cutting operating costs and carbon, and protecting a shared natural resource.
- FocusSolar aeration & pumping
- FocusIoT-enabled smart monitoring
- FocusWater conservation
- FocusEfficient pumping
Circular aquaculture: Waste-to-Wealth
We are committed to transforming suitable farm waste, organic residues and fisheries by-products into valuable resources across our existing and future fisheries and aquaculture projects — wherever technically and economically feasible.
Our approach
- Collection & segregationResponsible handling of farm waste and residues
- Recycling & nutrient recoveryReturning nutrients to productive use
- Compost & biofertiliserOrganic residues turned into farm inputs
- BSFL applicationsPotential Black Soldier Fly Larvae use
- Processing by-productsRecovering useful materials from fish and shrimp processing
The benefits we aim for
- Less waste disposal and environmental pollution
- Better resource-use efficiency
- Additional revenue streams for farmers
- Direct and indirect employment
- Protection of aquatic biodiversity
