1.1 Geographical Features and Agroclimatic Zones:
Chhattisgarh one of the thirty five constituents of the country,

occupies 135194 square km which is 4.14% of the geographical area
of India. It is located in the centre of 17.43' to 24.5 degree North
latitude and 80.15 to 84.20 degree East longitude. Uttar Pradesh in

The State is playing an important role by generating self-employment

through fisheries in rural areas which in turn provides nutritious food
to rural folks. Fisheries business has generated an employment
potential for about 1.85 Lakh persons, most of them belong to weaker
section of the society.
2.1 Available Water Resources:
State has 58514 Rural Pond area covering 0.744 Lakh ha and 1734
Irrigation Reservoir covering 0.887 Lakh ha Water area totaling to
1.631 Lakh ha water area available for fisheries development at the
end of 2010-11. Out of the available Water Resources 0.679 lakh ha.
rural pond area and 0.837 lakh ha. irrigation reservoir water area,
thus totaling 1.516 lakh ha. water has already been brought under
fish culture till 2010-11. The developed water area under fish culture
is shown in table as under
Table
Type of Water Area Area in Lakh ha % developed
Ponds 0.679 90.7%
Reservoirs 0.837 94%

of individual rearing space with the available water area of 327.80 ha.
are involved in fish seed production in govt. and private sector.
Present demand of fish seed is placed at 80.00 crores st.fry against of
which 83.96 crore have been prodused in 2010-11. Our plan strategy
for 2011-12 aims at production of 89 crores of st.fry.
2.3 Fish Production and productivity
States fisheries is mostly culture based in which Major carp fish group
play a leading role. Availability of 58514 ponds covering 0.744 lakhs
hectare water area is the main asset on which culture fisheries rest.
So far 91% of the area has been covered.
Annual fish production has recorded an average growth of 63.5%

during 2007-08 to year 2010-11 Plan.

In Inland fish production status of India, Chhattisgarh stands on 8th

position. There has been great improvement in per hectare yield from
ponds. In year 2001-02 annual yield was 2120 kg/hectare. During

6
2010-11 it has reached 2650 kg/ha. which is above the National

average of 2300 kg (2007-08). There are large number of
progressive pisciculturists in the state who are successfully
harvesting seven to eight ton of fish of Indian major carps annually.
Average production in reservoir are 125 kg./hact./year which is above
the national average of 69kg/hact./year.
2.4 Extension
In addition to its field staff at the district and block level for

DEPARTMENT OF FISHERIES CHHATTISGARH

Details of Plan Scheme
A. STATE PLAN SCHEME

______________________________________________________
1 Fish Seed Production:
It is most important ingredient of fishery development. Actually the fish seed

is the pivot round which entire fish industry moves. Under the normal plan and tribal
sub-plan the task is to produce quality fish seed through scientific methods and fulfill
the demand of Pisciculturist who are residining in remote areas. Demand of fish seed
for departmental reservoirs and rivers ranching is also meet out under the scheme.
The various component on which budget incurred are farm maintenance, electric
charges, hatchery operation, seed production and rearing, feeding, and raising of new
infra structure.
2. Development of reservoirs and rivers:

Reservoirs:
There are 1734 reservoirs covering 0.887 lakhs hectare water area which is
54.40% of the total water area are available in the state 39 reservoirs covering 49693
ha. are under the department Mahasanghfor the purpose of fish culture, Breeders
raising education and training purpose.
As per state policy reservoirs average water area up to 200 ha. Have been
transferred to panchayat raj bodies for leasing out to the local fishermen co-
operatives. Above 200 ha. Average water bodies are to be auctioned by the fisheries
department for a five year period at a time.
Water area above 200 ha. Govt. recently (on 8th Sept. 2007) revised the
policy with following amendment:-
Water bodies of 200 - 1000 ha. & above 5000 ha. Will be leased out to
fishermen co-operative societies by the department.
Water body above 1000 – 5000 ha. Will be allotted to C.G. Matsya Mahasangh on
royalty basis.
Department policy for fish seed stocking is that leasee will stock 100% fish
seed in small reservoir and 50% of the total stocking in medium and large
reservoirs.

10
Rivers:
Chhattisgarh is mostly covered by Mahanadi and Godavari river systems.
However some area of the state has also some portion of Ganga and Narmada river
systems.
Total length of rivers is estimated to be 3573 km. Although river share in fish
production of the state is half percent but it provides artisnal level fishery to large
number of fishermen living along its. banks. Rivers are also valuable source of
natural fish fauna.
Fishing is free in rivers. In order to preserve its fish biodiversity it is
necessary to put some of its portion out of fishing zone. This shall help in sustaining
artisnal level fisheries. During 11th plan stocking of fish seed was commenced in
Indravati. Initial observation show encouraging results towards rehabilitation of
major carps.
3. Education and Training:

3.1 Departmental training:
Under these schemes general, tribal and schedule cast fishermen are being
trained with modern scientific methods of fish culture, capture, net making, boat
rowing are taught for a duration for 10 days. Each fisherman is paid for Rs. 1250/-
which includes Rs. 75/- per day scholarship, Nylon twine worth value of Rs. 400
and Rs. 100 which includes fare and other expenses.
3.2 Out of State study tour:
Apart from these local trainees, the progressive fish farmers of different
sector of state are sent to other states to learn advance techniques of fish culture Rs.
2500/- per trainees expenses are to met for 10 days out of state tour. This includes
training allowance Rs. 750/-, ticket fare Rs. 1500/- and miscellaneous expenditure
Rs. 250/-.
3.3 Demonstration cum training:

To overcome of conventional farming and reap maximum sustainable yield
through intensive fish culture the need of high tech demonstration in fish culture
was deeply felt by the department. A scheme of training cum demonstration unit is
sanctioned schemes includes a unit of components viz. construction of one hectare
2 mt. deep fish rearing pond, seed rearing nurseries, Tube well, pump house,
Chowkidar hut, electric line etc. will cost Rs. 19.74 lakhs. Another Rs. 2.40 lakhs
will be incurred on feed inputs, Aeration and lab equipment etc. Thus the total per
unit establishment will cost Rs. 22.14 lakhs.
