dc.description.abstractSmall indigenous fish species (SIS) such as mola (Amblypharyngodon mola) regarded as natural ‘superfoods,’ due to their high nutrient content, offer a promising avenue for addressing the nutritional deficiencies in India. Over the past decade, integrating mola into conventional carp polyculture systems has emerged as a promising nutrition-sensitive innovation, significantly enhancing micronutrient intake, particularly for women and children. However, the lack of hatchery-reared mola seed has hindered the sustainability of this approach. Recently, this bottleneck was addressed by developing a hatchery-based mass seed production protocol for mola, which was introduced into carp farming systems on a pilot basis. This study evaluates the performance of hatchery-produced mola seed in homestead carp polyculture ponds in Odisha, India by using a field survey. Of the surveyed farmers, 24% purchased mola spawn, while 76% opted for mola fry. The average pond size of surveyed farmers was 0.32 ha with an average culture duration of 9 months. Farmers stocked mola spawn at an average density of 283,583/ha and fry at 22,190/ha. Results showed that 93% of farmers achieved successful mola production, with an average mola yield of 194 kg/ha and total production of 2831 kg/ha. Mola contributed an average of 9% to the total fish production reaching a maximum contribution of up to 26%. The mola fish contributed significantly to the household in terms of additional revenue. Household consumption averaged 14 kg of mola per year, with a per capita consumption of 3 kg. Increasing pond size and optimizing stocking density emerge as critical factors positively impacting mola production and income. Overall, this study demonstrates the potential of hatchery-produced mola seed in promoting nutrition-sensitive aquacul-ture in Odisha, offering valuable insights for its scaling up.en_US
