3.2 Major programme areas for government during FFYP period

3.2.1 Open-water capture fisheries

A area of 2.8 million ha of fish habitat in the floodplains remains an unutilized resource for fish-production. In order to increase production from open-water fisheries, programmes will have to be instigated to:

conserve resources through rigorous implementation of the Fish Acts and motivation of fishermen;

establish fish sanctuaries;

increase production by massive stockings of fast-growing carp fingerlings in natural depressions and floodplains;

develop fish culture in paddy fields through protective measures against adverse effects of flood control, drainage and irrigation projects, roads and highways projects, townships and housing projects.
