DEPARTMENT OF FISHERIES CHHATTISGARH

Details of Plan Scheme
A. STATE PLAN SCHEME

______________________________________________________
1 Fish Seed Production:
It is most important ingredient of fishery development. Actually the fish seed

is the pivot round which entire fish industry moves. Under the normal plan and tribal
sub-plan the task is to produce quality fish seed through scientific methods and fulfill
the demand of Pisciculturist who are residining in remote areas. Demand of fish seed
for departmental reservoirs and rivers ranching is also meet out under the scheme.
The various component on which budget incurred are farm maintenance, electric
charges, hatchery operation, seed production and rearing, feeding, and raising of new
infra structure.
2. Development of reservoirs and rivers:

Reservoirs:
There are 1734 reservoirs covering 0.887 lakhs hectare water area which is
54.40% of the total water area are available in the state 39 reservoirs covering 49693
ha. are under the department Mahasanghfor the purpose of fish culture, Breeders
raising education and training purpose.
As per state policy reservoirs average water area up to 200 ha. Have been
transferred to panchayat raj bodies for leasing out to the local fishermen co-
operatives. Above 200 ha. Average water bodies are to be auctioned by the fisheries
department for a five year period at a time.
Water area above 200 ha. Govt. recently (on 8th Sept. 2007) revised the
policy with following amendment:-
Water bodies of 200 - 1000 ha. & above 5000 ha. Will be leased out to
fishermen co-operative societies by the department.
Water body above 1000 – 5000 ha. Will be allotted to C.G. Matsya Mahasangh on
royalty basis.
Department policy for fish seed stocking is that leasee will stock 100% fish
seed in small reservoir and 50% of the total stocking in medium and large
reservoirs.

10
Rivers:
Chhattisgarh is mostly covered by Mahanadi and Godavari river systems.
However some area of the state has also some portion of Ganga and Narmada river
systems.
Total length of rivers is estimated to be 3573 km. Although river share in fish
production of the state is half percent but it provides artisnal level fishery to large
number of fishermen living along its. banks. Rivers are also valuable source of
natural fish fauna.
Fishing is free in rivers. In order to preserve its fish biodiversity it is
necessary to put some of its portion out of fishing zone. This shall help in sustaining
artisnal level fisheries. During 11th plan stocking of fish seed was commenced in
Indravati. Initial observation show encouraging results towards rehabilitation of
major carps.
3. Education and Training:
