DEPARTMENTAL ACTIVITIES
Development of Natural water resources
and revival of Riverine Fisheries under Pilot project
Systematic
exploitation of naturally available resources such as streams, rivers, swamps etc, which
are also readily available water bodies, will augment fish production in the state.
Development of rivers/streams for fishery activities is expected to create not only
natural habitat for rare/endangered species but will also generate awareness for the need
to conserve, protect and ban on use of dangerous/hazardous chemicals/gears in our river
systems.
Assistance
to fishermen under FFDA (Fish Farmers Development Agency)
Under
this Centrally Sponsored Scheme, a package of assistance is provided as incentives to
promote intensive aquaculture in the state. It also includes setting up of hatchery units
by private farmers.
Extension and training
Training
and Extension is extended to create awareness and motivate fish farmers of the latest
technical know-how of intensive fish farming to enhance fish production in the state. One
of the important training programmes which is envisaged under the department is called
Comprehensive training of fishermen by live demonstration. This training consists of pre
and post management covering a period of three months in each district. Pamphlets,
booklets, Training manuals etc. are also published and updated from time to time and
distributed to the farmers.
Integrated fish farming
Fish
culture along with livestock/paddy is encouraged to augment fish production and to uplift
socio-economic status of the rural masses. Common carp fish seed at a stocking density of
7000 per hectare of paddy field are supplied to farmers at subsidized rate during the
month of May to July. In certain potential areas where paddy-cum-fish culture can be
successfully practiced, the department is proposing to construct permanent embankment to
rear fish throughout the year to promote pisciculture and generate additional income for
the villagers.
