Respwcted Sir,
I want to undertake a Ph.D.programme in the areas of Pisciculture.But I am in need of fellowship. Presenly I am working as a project fellow in Visva-Bharati in UGC sponsored project entitled'AN ENQUIRY INTO THE NATURE & CONSTRAINTS OF INLAND FISH CULTIVATION IN INDIA". If you kindly allow me to know about any feseability, I will be highly grateful to you.
Thanking you and with best regards.

I am looking for information regarding production of triploid rainbow and brown trout.
In particular, protocols for the induction of triploidy by pressure.
