Enhancement of fish production in the State is one of the priority areas of our Department. Insufficient stocking density of fingerlings and improper management has been identified as the major constraints to increasing fish production. So, if the application of quality fingerlings and balanced farm-made feed (made with locally available ingredients) along with water conditioner (lime) with proper pond management be arranged in the huge available small water bodies of our state in order to carry out the scientific pisciculture, the fish production of the state will be increased automatically. Water bodies owned by individuals, Societies, Fish production Groups, Self Help Groups and Institutions are being utilized to produce more fish and to protect endangered fish with the supply of fish fingerlings and fishery inputs under this scheme. Assistance under this scheme has been provided in terms of quality fish seed (1000 nos. per unit of 10-12 cm size) to the beneficiaries as Government Contribution. The unit area of the Scheme is 1.0 bight. The ideal season for stocking fish under this scheme is June -July.

• Government assistance is of  Rs. 5150.00. Fish fingerlings are being provided under this scheme. No feed is provided by government.
