Abstract : Pisciculture is considered as an important economic
activity in the socio-economic context in the State of Assam. A survey to assess the fishery resources reveals that Assam is
one of the richest state in the country with surface water resources where
bheel fisheries and
pond and tank fisheries alone occupies about 1.40 lakh hectares area. Within
the confined water bodies, bheel fisheries constitute 54% of total confined
water resources followed by both pond and tank and derelict water bodies shares
21% equally. During 2009-10 fish seed production was about 3316.22 million
numbers, while the fish production was about 218,824 tonnes. The major
contributor in seed production of Assam is Barpeta (31%), followed by Nagaon
(26%), Karimganj (13%), Hailakandi (7%) and Chirag (5%) and all other districts
together contributes 15% only. Major contributor districts in fish production
of Assam are Nagaon (10%), Kamrup (8%), Kachhar and Karimganj 7% each, Dubri
and Barpeta 6% each and other districts together contributes 29%. Major
contributor districts in fish production of Assam are Nagaon (10%), Kamrup
(8%), Kachhar and Karimganj 7% each, Dubri and Barpeta 6% each and other
districts together contributes 29%. Fitted various trend lines of fish seed
production and fish production indicated increasing trend for both factors. The
relationship between seed production and seed production of Assam irrespective
of district are found to be significant indicating the importance of fish seed
production in enhancing fish production of the state. Testing of regression and
correlation coefficients are tested for significance.
