Abstract

Fisheries and aquaculture are the fastest growing sector and it has huge potential in economic development, food and nutritional security and livelihood opportunities. This sector provides excellent opportunity for income generation particularly in economically backward areas. Gumla district where the 69% of the population are scheduled tribe and people are primarily associated with agriculture as well as fisheries activities; aquaculture can be an ideal option for upliftment of their economic activity. Therefore, it is very important to study the water resources and their potential, prevailing fisheries activity for sustainable exploitation of the resources as well as upliftment of the economic and social status of the fish farmers of the district. Therefore, information on available fisheries resources in the district were collected from the record of Department of Fisheries, Gumla and also from its official website. For the study of physico-chemical parameters of water and soil, two ponds of Palkot block were selected and samples collected from the selected ponds were analysed in the laboratory of the College of Fisheries Science, Gumla. Present study highlights the status and potential of fishery resources and the on-going fisheries activity to formulate strategies for further improvement.
