rearing is highly profitable as a part of allied agriculture

activity in Chhattisgarh.

About 1,635 lakh hectare water area is available for

fish rearing and 2.10 lakh fishermen are provided

with self-employment. As the state of Chhattisgarh is

self-sufficient in fish seed production.

The Fisheries Department is developing the water-field

of nearly 14 hectares in Lamni for fish farming purpose,

wherein fishes of various species including rohu, katla,

mrigul, commoncorp, magnesia, and others would be

produced. In this water field the decorative fishes will

also be kept here.

The farmers will be taught advanced technique of fish

farming. The new techniques must be taught to them so

that they can increase the fish production. There is an order

by the Agriculture Minister Mr. Brijmohan Agrawal to

build a magnificent fish aquarium.

This aquarium is proposed to be constructed near

Chitrakote waterfall or Dalpatsagar of Jagdalpur in order

to increase tourist attraction. Earmarking of land for this

purpose is underway.
