Water Fisheries and Aquaculture, Development of Waterlogged areas, Productive Utilisation of Inland

Saline/Alkaline Water for Aquaculture, Inland Capture Fisheries (Reservoirs/Rivers) and the Fodder And

Feed Development Scheme. Fisheries as a livelihood activity for the poor have immense scope. Many

small reservoirs, tanks, water harvesting ponds created under MGNREGA are ideally suited for fish

production. There is scope for enhancing the fish production by 3 to 5 times from the current productivity

levels. Adopting culture based fisheries with advanced fingerlings (100 mm and above) at stocking rates

of 500-1000 fingerlings per ha can substantially increase productivity in the water spread area in small

reservoirs, estimated at 1.2 million ha in the country.
