Prepare the nursery pond: Ensure that the nursery pond is ready to receive the fry. The pond should have suitable water quality parameters including temperature, pH, and dissolved oxygen levels. It should also have adequate vegetation or hiding places, and natural food sources or appropriate feeds.

Catching the fry: Use fine-mesh nets or fry scoops to carefully catch the fry from their rearing tanks or ponds. Take care to minimize stress and avoid injuring the fry during the process.

Transfer to the nursery pond: Once the fry are caught, gently transfer them to the nursery pond. This can be done by gently pouring them into the water or using a transfer container filled with water from the fry-rearing tank to gradually introduce them to the new environment.

Acclimation: Allow the fry to acclimate to the water conditions in the nursery pond. Gradually mix the water from the nursery pond with the water from the fry-rearing tank to help them adjust to the new water parameters.

Monitoring and care: Regularly monitor the fry in the nursery pond to ensure their health and growth. Provide suitable feeds based on their nutritional requirements. Manage water quality parameters, and implement disease prevention measures to support their well-being.

It's important to note that the process may vary based on local conditions and farming practices. Consulting with experienced fish farmers or aquaculture experts in your region can provide valuable insights tailored to your specific circumstances.
