Producing young ones from egg are called 'hatcheries or to produce young ones from eggs by incubation or brooding. Fish prawn and other
products of water, have always been a staple part of diets in many cul- tures and it is not surprising that man will want some control over this in due course of time. Aquaculture can be defined as the artificial propaga- tion & culture of aquatic organisms for a commercial purpose aquacul-
ture started way bank in 3500 BC with the Chinese growing carb in the ponds on the silkworm farms. Aqua culture industry faces problems like stable supply of seedlings, disease control and adequate food supply or development of suitable artificial diets The government has certain re- strictions on the number of young fish that can be taken from coastal waters. This restriction hampers the growth of production though the seedling can be produced by artificial fertilization in the hatchery.
Modem shrimp farming the production of marine shrimp in impound- ments, ponds, race ways and tanks, got started. in the ear- ly1970S,andtodayoverfifty countries have shrimp farms. In Ecuador and Brazil the leading producers in the western hemisphere, exporter venue

In Thailand, the leader in Eastern hemisphere they have passed the billion dollar mark this year if prices had not been so low India, Indonesia China, Malaysia, Taiwan, Bangladesh, Srilanka, Philippines,Vietnam, Australia and Myanmar have shrimp farms and there are shrimp farms throughout central and South America Honduras, panama Belizeand Mexico have big industries white smaller industries exist in Coltsnbia Guatemala, Venezuela, Nilarga and Peru.

SHRIMP HATCHERY PRESENT STATUS IN INDIA
Shrimp (prawn) culture Industry is taking roots in India since long the fisherman in India have been following the traditional rice /shrimp rotat- ing aquaculture system. However during the last decade the traditional system which apart from producing
rice,produced140kgsofshrimpperhectareof land began to give away more ON THE ROAD SIDE THE PLANTS LIKE:
intensive methods of shrimp culture which could produce thousands kil- ometers per hectare .A large number of private companies & multinational corporations have started investing in shrimp farms.Inthelastfewyearsmorethan80,000hectaresoflandhavebeen convert- ed to shrimp farming. India's marine export weight edinat 70,000 tonnes in1993andtheseexportsareprojected to reach200thousand tones by the year 2000. The shrimp farming advocates regard aquaculture as poten- tial savior of developing countries because it is a short duration crop that provides a high investments return and enjoys an expanding market. The
said expectation is fought to be achieved by replacing the environmental .
benigh Traditional mode of culture by semi-intensive and intensive
methods. More and more areas are being brought under semi-intensive and intensive modes of shrimp farming indeed the new trend of more intensified shrimp farming in certain parts of country without much con- trol of feeds seeds and other inputs and water management practices had brought to the fore a serious threat to the environment & ecology.
OBJECTIVES
1) To study about the environmental managemental practices in shrimp hatcheries .
2)To study the impacts of shrimp hatcheries on surrounding environ- ment& give proper suggestions.
METHODOLOGY
Study Areas:
I had selected two hatcheries in the area of Thimmapuram near Bheemili. This hatchery had the abbrevation of the power and control engineermg Company. It is located at Thimmapuram near Bheemili in Visakhapat- nam. It is about 20 K.M. from Visakhapatnam. It had started in the year
1990 with an area of 10 acres. The species grown in this hatchery eg
P.Mondon .
RAJKAMAL HATCHERY:
This hatchery is located at Thimmapuram near· Beemili in Visakhapat- nam. It is an area of 6 acres. It had started in the year 1995 the Species like P. Mondon are grown here.

Usage
•
In Post Larval tanks an antibiotic and antifungal drug are used as prophy- laxis on the first day during tank preparation Symmetrically siphon the
entire tank bottom making sure to remove any residual food left from previous feedings.
If any disease like bacterial, viral and fungal infection are occurred tothe organisms they will be thrown or discarded .
Water is changed in the reservoirs for every 24 hours.
PROBLEMS PRIMARY PROBLEM:
1 The hatchery after using the sea water. Polluted sea water is thrown into sea water again which result in the ecological disaster.
2 Most of the toxic substances like antibiotics and chemicals are used in the hatcheries to prevent from pests which result in health hazards.
SECONDARY PROBLEMS
Ecological in balance is caused.
Loss of wild species like flora and fauna
Salinization of soil and water.. Shrimp farming results in social damage
..
Another damaging effect that impacts local fishing communities.
Health risks to people in local communities.
PRIMARY PROBLEMS
1The hatcheries use much amount of the sea water for their purpose and later the polluted water is pumped back into the sea which result in pol- lution of the marine water. The Organisms present in the water gets ef- fected. If once species is affected. The species depending upon the former species get effected and results in the ecological disaster.

2). Loss of wild species like flora and fauna
Best management practices, including those based or traditional methods or technological innovations should be promoted.

3 )Salinization of soil and water
The sea water from shrimp ponds was salinization of agriculture land
45000ha of once productive rice and also shrimp forms in central
Thailand have become and ecological desert
This may result in declined of rice land and drop in rice production that had already occurred in countries like khula, Bangladesh.
4.) Shrimp farming result in social damage
The growth of shrimp forming over the past 10 15 years occurred
because Government and international development agencies promoted it by enormous profits to be made. Investors were quick to cash in on the cooperative business ,but it is largely only a relatively few investors that have received the lions share of ben- efits, while .large portions of society ,particularly the ruler poor, have become disenfranchised and marginalized into severely
degraded environments
5.) Another damaging effect that impacts local fishing communities Is the capture of young shrimp by aquaculture farm for their hatchery .It is not only in the construction of ponds but also in their operations that makes the -an environmental damage and socially destructive time bomb

Effluent from shrimp ponds is commonly dumped onto surrounding land and include water always where it chemicals mix can post health risk to people in local communities.
OBSERVATIONS AND SUGGESTIONS
The environmental impacts of shrimp hatcheries and its problems had already discussed. The following suggestions for reducing the environ- mental impacts of shrimp hatcheries are as follows .To achieve long term sustainability ,the shrimp forming industries will need to seriously con- sidered its effect on the environment.ess the impacts, and improve envi- ronmental management, of postal aquaculture development, FAO rec- ommends the protection of resources and environments require of such development this may include strengthened efforts in planning and man- agement of coastal aquaculture development, integrated coastal area management (ICAM) implementation of the environmental impact as- sessment (EIA) monitoring of pollution , and environmental legislation, among others .F or shrimp culture these measures include management of pond effluents, Regulations (of species introductions, chemical used etc) CAM and rehabilitation of wild habitats and populations . Because shrimp is a product traded mainly in international markets and the cul- tured species are common to countries with in a region, these actions will need international cooperation’s. Shrimp aquaculture should harm neither coastal nor marine ecosystems, and should be environmentally economi
for sustainable shrimp aquaculture. Raise awareness of key issues in shrimp aquacultures among consumers, the general public, policy mak- ers, investors, the industry itself, and other key target groups. Use of sea water by the hatcheries and again pump the polluted water back into sea water should be avoided. Toxics compounds which are used for bacterial, fungal and viral diseases used in aquaculture should be banned which effect wild flora and fauna.
.In order to maintain good sanitation and hygiene, movement of people from one section to the other should be restricted The aides should be trained to disinfect every equipment & even their hand before & after dipping them in a tank
The seawater and fresh water reservoirs should be cleaned disinfected at
frequent intervals If these hatcheries will not follow the rules that had conducted by the Government should be severely punished Pollution control board should be take responsibility to check the pollution levels in hatcheries.

CONCLUSION
Shrimp culture industry is taking deep roots in India. The hatcheries are using modem technical and mechanical instruments to reduce environ- mental pollution. The used sea water is first treated chlorinated and than disposed back into the sea, using a pipe that carries the used water to the middle of the sea to avoid the shore pollution. In case if the shrimp cul- ture gets infected, they treat the culture, disinfect it and then let it into the sea Raj Kamal and Pace 20 carrying out their environmental man- agement practices with utmost care) so as to reduce environmental pollu- tion They are even maintaining the green belt.
