Sagar Aquaculture

What Sagar Aquaculture does

Sagar Aquaculture Pvt Ltd is an Indian aquaculture equipment manufacturer founded in 2001 and headquartered in Rajkot, Gujarat. The company began by producing fishing floats and long-arm impellers, pivoted in 2012 to manufacturing complete paddle wheel aerators in India to address parts-availability and service problems with imported equipment, and since 2015 has broadened into spiral aerators, long-arm aerators, Roots Blowers, mud lifting machines (sludge pumps), solar-powered auto feeders, feed mixers, and HDPE floating cage culture systems for pond and offshore aquaculture. Its product line is supported by a vertically integrated parts catalogue covering motors, bevel-type gear boxes, shafts, impellers, floats, frames, and motor covers, with notable engineering differentiators such as a 20% power-saving bevel gear box, H-class insulated IP65 motors with four-layer corrosion protection, and ISI Mark certification.

The company serves aquaculture farmers — primarily shrimp, prawn, and fish operators running pond-based or cage-based operations — across India and in export markets in Asia, Latin America, and the USA. Revenue is generated through domestic dealer-network sales and direct export channels, with separate phone lines for export and domestic customers and a regional service centre in Navsari. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; transactions are initiated via website inquiry forms, phone, or email. The company uses trade exhibitions (e.g., Aquaculture Taiwan 2017), an online catalogue, dealer locator, newsletter, and Twitter (@sagar_aqua) as primary demand-generation channels, and has stated a 2023 capacity target of 100,000+ aeration units per year alongside plans to open a training centre for Indian and foreign aquaculture clients.

Products and services

• Paddle Wheel Aerator Paddle Wheel Aerator is an aquaculture oxygenation device that increases dissolved oxygen concentration in pond water and creates water currents that clean feeding paths. Available in 1HP, 2HP, 3HP, and 4HP variants with bevel type gear box for power efficiency. Designed for shrimp, prawn, and fish aquaculture farmers operating pond-based aquaculture.
• Spiral Aerator Spiral Aerator is designed for dissolving more oxygen in pond water with low power consumption. The 2HP variant operates at 136-140 rpm and throws water with small droplets to dissolve more oxygen. Ideal for intensive and super intensive culture systems with minimal water current to avoid turbidity issues.
• Long Arm Aerator Long Arm Aerator designed to work with diesel engine for areas with limited electricity access. Features a 20-foot long arm configuration and can operate without electrical power, making it suitable for remote aquaculture sites.
• Roots Blower Roots Blower uses high pressure to transport oxygen into water for aquaculture. Available in 3HP/5HP/7.5HP/10HP variants with the 5HP model providing 300m3/Hrs air flow at 0.3 kg/cm2 pressure. By using blower with Aero Tube, oxygen can be maintained from bottom to surface throughout the pond.
• Mud Lifting Machine (Sludge Pump) Mud Lifting Machine removes mud and aqua animal waste from pond bottom using a specially designed scraper. Features 3HP power-saving mud pump with 33,400 Ltr./Hour water output capacity, S.S. 304 frame with powder coating, and iron scraper for sludge removal in aquaculture ponds.
• Auto Feeding Machine Solar-powered automated feeder for shrimp and fish featuring 4800 RPM spinner motor, 60W solar panel, 12V 26ah battery with 4-hour backup, and 100kg L.L.D.P.E. storage tank. Spreads feed 20-25 meter radius. Reduces FCR and feed wastage while maintaining pond water quality and addressing labor shortages.
• Feed Mixer Feed Mixer combines dry/liquid probiotics and minerals. Features 0.75HP/2HP motor, 25kg per batch capacity, mixing 225-250kg per hour with loading/unloading. Each batch mixes in 5 minutes. Available with timer setup and automatic off system.
• Circular Cage Circular Cage is a floating structure for growing fish in sea or reservoir enclosed in net cage allowing free water flow. Manufacturing 6M, 10M, and 16M diameter cages with HDPE floating pipes, handrail pipes, and sinker pipes. High production per unit compared to shore-based systems.
• Fish Cage Culture Fish Cage Culture is an aquaculture production system using floating frame (Pontoons), net materials, and mooring system with square shape floating net. Dimensions of 6M x 4M x 4M with HDPE pontoons, PPCP pins, and HDPE nets with bird net protection for fish culture in reservoirs, rivers, lakes, or sea.
