Aquaculture - Fish Production and Productivity in India

Indian fishing sector

Indian fishing sector constitutes about 6.3% of the global fish production.
The sector contributes to 1.1% of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP).
It is 5.15% of the agricultural GDP.
The total fish production of 10.1 million metric tonnes presently has nearly 65% contribution from the inland sector and the rest is from marine sector.
In the fish farms the productivity can be 5000 kg per hectare per annum. But the the average in India is less than 3000 kg. Hence there is good potential to increase productivity in the fishing sector in Indian fish farms.

We have to examine productivity science, productivity engineering and productivity management activities to identify the steps to be taken in each of these phases of productivity improvement at national, state, and district levels by government. Similarly the steps to be taken at industry level and unit level are to be identified.

Carp Culture in Fresh Water Ponds

Brief economics: With four carp species culture at 6000 / ha stocking density and with 80 per cent survival, the culture would yield 400 to 500 kg / 0.1 ha / 12 to 18 months culture and at Rs.80/- a kilo, the gross income would be 32,000/- to 40,000/-, with about Rs.15,000/- towards annual expenditure for fish seed, lime, manure and feed.

Fish farms to produce nearly two thirds of India's fish supply by 2030
In the 1950s, fish from the seas accounted for over 70% of India’s production, but now its share is halved.

Aquaculture technologies in Bangladesh: An assessment of technical and economic performance and producer behavior
Jahan, K.M., Belton, B., Ali, H., Dhar, G.C., Ara, I.
WorldFish, 12-Apr-2016
 This study evaluates the performance of a wide range of aquaculture systems in Bangladesh. It is by far the largest of its kind attempted to date. The purpose of this study was to identify and analyze the most important production systems, rather than to provide a nationally representative overview of the entire aquaculture sector of Bangladesh. As such, the study yields a huge amount of new information on production technologies that have never been thoroughly researched before. The study reveals an extremely diverse array of specialized, dynamic and rapidly evolving production technologies, adapted to a variety of market niches and local environmental conditions. This is a testament to the innovativeness of farmers and other value chain actors who have been the principal drivers of this development in Bangladesh. Data was collected from six geographical hubs. The survey was conducted from November 2011 to June 2012. Technological performance in terms of detailed input and output information, fish management practices, credit and marketing, and social and environmental issues were captured by the survey questionnaire, which had both open and closed format questions. The study generated insights that enable better understanding of aquaculture development in Bangladesh.

Maharashtra plans policy to promote cage culture for fresh water fish
"Maharashtra has a reservoir area of around 4 lakh hectare and we plan to bring a maximum of 1% of this under fish cage farming,"
"Each cage can generate direct employment for 10 people. If 1,000 cages are put up, this can provide 10,000 jobs and indirect employment to around 15,000 people,"
