    Scheme Number – (PMMSY – CSS – BO – 1.1) - 01

    Establishment of New Freshwater Finfish Hatcheries

    A component of Pradhan Mantri Matasya Sampada Yojna

    CSS – Beneficiary Oriented Scheme

    The paradox of fisheries development in Bihar is that while it has large, untapped and underutilized

    water resources for aquaculture, still it has to depend on Andhra Pradesh, West Bengal and other

    states for the supply of deficit fish. The annual domestic demand of fish within the state is nearly

    6.69 lakh tonnes, against the present annual production of around 6.41 lakh tones only. The annual

    per capita fish availability of the state is 8.82 kg per head while the national average is around 10

    kg per head. The average fish production from the available water resources of the state is 2900

    kg / ha. per year against the national average of 3000 kg/ Ha. /year. Although, a gap exists between

    current production and current demand of fish however steady fisheries infrastructural &

    development projects have been under taken by the Government.

    Fisheries sector of this state is an important, most promising and fast-growing food farming sub-

    sector of Bihar accounting 6 % annual growth rate and contributes 1.4% (2012-13) to its state’s

    GDP. The availability of immense aquatic resources not only satisfies the demand of fish but also

    plays an important role in gainful livelihood & employment generation, food and nutritional

    security, poverty alleviation, state income growth and finally socio-economic up-gradation of the

    rural downtrodden.

    To meet the growing demand of qualitative and quantitative fish seed, it is proposed to establish 6

    Circular Hatcheries in the Year 2020-21, the construction Cost of each hatchery is Rs. 25.00 lakhs

    as per PMMSY scheme’s approved unit cost. The total project cost for the FY 2020-21 will be Rs

    150 lakhs. The total admissible Government subsidy (Central + State) will be limited to 40% of

    the project cost for general category beneficiaries and 60% of the project cost for Scheduled Castes

    (SCs), Scheduled Tribes (STS), women.

    Introduction According to census 2011, the total population of the state was 10.38

    Crores (accounting 8.3% of the total population of the country) thereby

    registering a decadal growth of over 25%. It is expected that by 2050 the

    total population would be around 20.30 Crores. And, there would be

    multifold increase in demand of the basic amenities including food. The

    fish demand by 2050 would be more than 11.37 Lakh Metric Tons.

    With increasing demand of fish in the state, quality seeds will be

    required, and hence, hatcheries will be required to cater the demand of

    quality seeds specially IMC. The hatcheries will also help the farmers in

    timely supply of quality seeds and less costly as compared to the seeds

    that are imported from other states.

    Construction of New Rearing Ponds (nursery/seed rearing ponds)

    A component of Pradhan Mantri Matasya Sampada Yojna

    CSS – Beneficiary Oriented Scheme

    Aquaculture and culture-based fisheries are the options for enhancing the productivity of

    more amenable waters such as ponds with immediate results. An analysis of the constraints brings

    out the inadequate availability of fish seeds in terms of carp fingerlings. The fish fingerling

    production need to be increased multifold to cater qualitative and quantitative seed (fingerling)

    requirement of the state. Adequate availability of quality Fingerlings for stocking in water bodies

    targeted for culture is of one of the paramount needs for success of any venture. Fish Fingerling

    production is the single most important critical input visualized to achieve fish production targets.

    Technical Parameters

    • Under the proposal of construction of new rearing ponds, various size of ponds ranging from

    0.01 to 0.5 hectare (preferably) will be constructed based on the available area of the

    beneficiary which might be an owned or leased out land.

    • The rearing ponds will be mechanically constructed by digging maximum of 5 feet earth

    cutting. During the process of construction of ponds, proper care of slope, bund compaction,

    in-let/out-let provision, bund height etc. will be taken care of.

    • The estimated project cost of construction of new rearing ponds for one hectare has been

    worked out as 14.0 lakh/Ha as per current SOR rate of the State but it has been restricted to 7.0

    lakh/Ha as per PMMSY guidelines.

    • The number of beneficiaries will be around 1250 with benefit of 0.5Acre per beneficiary.

    Construction of new Grow-out Ponds

    A component of Pradhan Mantri Matasya Sampada Yojna

    CSS – Beneficiary Oriented Scheme

    Bihar is a land-locked state with an agrarian economy. Fisheries is confined to

    freshwater only. It is bestowed with vast and varied fisheries potential inland aquatic resources

    in the form of chaurs (wetlands), mauns (oxbow lakes). Reservoirs & lakes, rivers, ponds &

    tanks, network of canals etc. these water resources are being harnessed through different

    governmental schemes at various degree of success. Fish production in the State is to the tune of

    6.41 lakhs metric tons (2019-20) against the active demand of 6.69 lakh metric tons (2019-20).

    Further increase of fish production shall come from culture and culture-based-capture fisheries

    as capture fisheries catch has reached its stagnation or decline. Therefore, horizontal expansion

    of aquaculture is imperative to meet the ever-growing demand of fish in the state.

    Technical Parameters

    • Under the proposal of construction of new grow-out ponds, various size of ponds ranging from

    0.5 acre to one hectare (preferably) will be constructed based on the available area of the

    beneficiary which might be an owned or leased out land.

    • The grow-out ponds will be mechanically constructed by digging maximum of 5 feet earth

    cutting. During the process of construction of ponds, proper care of slope, bund compaction,

    in-let/out-let provision, bund height etc. will be taken care of.

    • The estimated project cost of new grow-out ponds for one hectare has been worked out as 14.0

    lakh/Ha as per current SOR rate of the State but it has been restricted to 7.0 lakh/Ha as per

    PMMSY guidelines.

    • The number of beneficiaries will be around 500 ranging from a minimum area of 0.5 acre to

    one Ha and more.

    It is expected that by 2050, the total population of the state would be around 20.30

    Crores. So, by that time, it is expected that the annual demand of fish would be more than 11.37

    lakh Metric Tons. The ever-growing demand of fish obviously would come from culture and

    culture-based-capture fisheries. Therefore, it has become imperative to go for horizontal expansion

    of aquaculture like new pond construction including other inputs-based infrastructure development

  • 27

    Introduction Vast opportunities are available for substantial rise in output and yield

    through expansion of culture fisheries with scientific and modern best

    management practices. Existing captive fisheries resources like wetlands

    (9.41 lakh hectares) is to be converted into grow-out ponds for aquaculture

    which can significantly increase output, enhance income of farmers besides

    offering additional gainful employment for rural youth and fishing

    communities and also provide excellent sources of cheaper protein for rural

    population folks.

    A component of Pradhan Mantri Matasya Sampada Yojna

    CSS – Beneficiary Oriented Scheme

    Despite abundant aquatic resources in the form of ponds & tanks 93,296 ha., Floodplains Wetlands

    9.41 lakhs ha., Reservoirs 26,303 ha. Oxbow lake 9000 ha., and Rivers 3200 km. fish production

    is short of fish demand in the State. The present fish production 2019-20 is 6.41 lakhs metric tons

    against the demand of 6.69 lakh metric tons. Development of fisheries resources with the adoption

    of the available technologies can bridge this gap, by at least doubling the production from the

    present fish production.

    Aquaculture and culture-based fisheries are the options for enhancing the productivity of more

    amenable waters such as ponds with immediate results. An analysis of the constraints brings out

    the inadequate availability of fish seeds in terms of carp fingerlings. The fish fingerling production

    need to be increased multifold to cater qualitative and quantitative seed (fingerling) requirement of

    the state. Adequate availability of quality Fingerlings for stocking in water bodies targeted for

    culture is of one of the paramount needs for success of any venture. Fish Fingerling production is

    one of the most important critical input visualised to achieve fish production targets under

    PMMSY.

    which is to be increased to 3000Kg/Ha (which is national average). The

    implementation of these schemes will not only increase the fish production

    & productivity from the existing ponds but also cater the requirement of

    additional water resources due to the loss of water from the existing water

    resources through the annual seasonal cycle. However, the development of

    a sustainable aquaculture industry is particularly challenged by the limited

    availability of natural resources as well as the impact of the industry on the

    environment. With these limitations in mind, the development of sustainable

    aquaculture industry should focus on the conceptualization of systems that

    despite their high productivity and profitability, utilize fewer resources

    including water, space, energy and eventually capital, and at the same time

    has lower impact on the environment. This scheme will also draw the

    inclination of fish farmers from traditional fish farming to commercial fish

    farming. Fish farmers will be able to produce The superior quality of country

    & foreign Carp fish seed which will be made available to fish farmers

    through Certified Suppliers at the best price.

    Scheme Number – (PMMSY – CSS – BO – 1.12) - 05

    Construction of Biofloc Ponds for Freshwater area including

    inputs of Rs.4 lakhs/0.1 Ha

    A component of Pradhan Mantri Matasya Sampada Yojna

    CSS – Beneficiary Oriented Scheme

    "Biofloc" is a general term that describes an assemblage of living (bacteria, cyanobacteria,

    algae, fungi, protozoan’s) and non-living (detritus, uneaten feed, waste products) components that

    form suspended aggregates also in aquaculture systems. The aggregates vary in size from the

    microscopic to > 1 mm with wet-weight density of slightly > 1 g/ml.

    In recent years, the aquaculture industry has come under scrutiny for contributing to

    environmental degradation. Interest in closed aquaculture systems for the production of fish is

    increasing, mostly due to some key environmental and marketing advantages that such systems

    have come over extensive systems. When water is reused, the risk of discharging pollution is

    reduced. This is a benefit for protecting natural resources. Furthermore, environmental regulations

    and discharge fees are inhibitive in most regions.

    Technical Parameters

    Risk Analysis

    • Regular oxygen supply - Alternative source of electricity is required to mitigate the risk

    • Outbreak of disease – Regular monitoring of water quality parameters and harmful

    microbes analysis as well as fish health monitoring.

    Introduction In recent years the aquaculture industry has come under scrutiny

    for contributing to environmental degradation. Interest in closed

    aquaculture systems for the production of fish is increasing, mostly due to

    some key environmental and marketing advantages that such systems have

    come over extensive systems. When water is reused, the risk of

    discharging pollution is reduced. This is a benefit for protecting natural

    resources. Furthermore, environmental regulations and discharge fees are

    inhibitive in most regions.

    Another advantage is that introduction of contaminants and

    pathogen from the environment to cultured animals is unlikely, especially

    when biosecurity measures such as source water disinfection are employed.

    Using closed systems limits the chance of animal escapement, helping to

    prevent exotic species and disease introductions to the natural

    environment. Because of reduced water use, high biomass, and relatively

    high heat containment, fish can be cultured at inland locations. This can

    allow producers to market fresh, never frozen fish to inland metropolitan

    locations and can help to reduce land cost and the dangers associated with

    extreme weather events.

    Biofloc technology (BFT) application offers benefits in improving

    aquaculture production that could contribute to the achievement of

    sustainable development goals. This technology could result in higher

    productivity with less impact to the environment. Furthermore, biofloc

    systems may be developed and performed in integration with other food

    production, thus promoting productive integrated systems, aiming at

    producing more food and feed from the same area of land with fewer input.

    Objective • Reducing water pollution and the risk of introduction and spread of

    pathogens.

    • Introducing an Eco-friendly culture system.

    • Reducing pressure and dependency on capture fisheries.

    • Improving land and water use efficiently.

    Eligible

    Beneficiary

    After due advertisement, the application shall be screened by the district

    level committee as per the guidelines issued by AFRD, Govt. of Bihar.

    Justification of the

    Scheme

    Moving towards an Eco-friendly culture system and has very high bio-

    security level as it is done in P-Lined ponds; there is no direct impact on

    the soil. It reduces the environmental impact and efficiently improves the

    land and water uses also reduces water pollution and the risk of

    introduction and spread of pathogens.

    Biofloc is a zero-water exchange system of fish culture, it rarely needs

    water exchange that too very negligible in some cases when problem

    persist. Biofloc systems are highly productive in comparisons to extensive

    farming and can produce 10 to 15 times more fish by enhancing survival

    rate, growth performance and feed conversion ratio. It reduces the

    utilization of protein rich feed and cost of standard feed; hence it is a cost-

    effective feed production method.

    Design and Layout

    There is hardly any difference in normal traditional pond and a biofloc pond. The biofloc pond

    should have a central drainage and hence the slopes of the pond are towards the center. The ponds

    used for biofloc are P-Lined so it is tough to make drainage on the bund. In these ponds the aerators

    are installed in such a manner so that water rotates in a circular pattern the waste gets accumulated

    at the center, so it is easy to remove the waste from the center.

    Stocking of Fingerlings in Reservoirs @ 1000 FL/ha (3.0/1 lakh FL)

    A component of Pradhan Mantri Matasya Sampada Yojna

    CSS – Beneficiary Oriented Scheme

    The State of Bihar is bestowed with vast and varied inland aquatic resources in the form of

    ponds & tanks 93,296 ha. Floodplains Water Logged Areas 9.41 lakhs ha., Reservoirs 26,303 ha.,

    Oxbow lake 9000 ha., and Rivers 3200 km.

    The reservoirs of the State spread in an area of more than 26,000 Ha is mainly located in southern

    districts of Bihar. As per the estimate the average productivity of the reservoir in the State is less

    than 1 kg/Ha/Year and is the lowest in the country. It is due to lack of scientific management and

    proper stocking of reservoirs.

    The present proposal of stocking of fingerlings in reservoirs is an attempt to augment the fish

    production and productivity of the reservoirs.

    Recently, the Water Resources Department has allowed the Animal and Fish Resources

    Department (AFRD) for commencing Fishery related activities in the reservoirs. This opportunity

    can be tapped to utilize the underutilized resources and start capture based culture fisheries in the

    reservoirs.

    Introduction Presently, the area under reservoir fisheries in the country has been

    estimated at about 3 million hectares and with the constant addition of new

    Reservoirs, impoundments this area is likely to further increase in the

    coming years the average productivity from all categories of Reservoirs is

    estimated at about 20 kg per hectare per year although potential exists for

    many fold increase as demonstrated in small ,medium and large Reservoirs

    in India. Poor appreciation of the biological and limnological functions

    governing the production regimes of Reservoirs and lack of stalking

    programs have rendered below optimal utilization of the fisheries potential

    of the Reservoirs. It is expected that through sustain supplementary

    stocking of quality fingerlings augmenting the fish stocks through auto

    stocking, adoption of appropriate mesh sizes, optimum fishing effort and

    enforcement of closed areas and close seasons the average productivity

    could be increased to a level of 250 kg per hectare per year.

    Stocking of Fingerlings in Wetlands @ 1000 FL/ha (3.0/1 lakh FL)

    A component of Pradhan Mantri Matasya Sampada Yojna

    CSS – Beneficiary Oriented Scheme

    The State of Bihar is bestowed with vast and varied inland aquatic resources in the form of

    ponds & tanks 93,296 Ha. Floodplains Water Logged Areas 9.41 lakhs Ha, Reservoirs 26,303 Ha,

    Oxbow lake 9000 Ha, and Rivers 3200 km.

    Bihar particular North Bihar is known for its fine network of rivers emanating from the Himalayas

    and also for a large number of other natural and manmade water bodies. These wetlands

    compensate the loss of forests in the region which are now confined to less than 2% of the total

    land area. Thousands of ponds, tanks, chaurs (land depressions) and moins (ox-bow lakes)

    constitute the lifeline of the area by serving as the source of irrigation and pisciculture.

    Of late, the Government of Bihar has initiated steps to augment the aquatic productivity, both in

    the fields of aquaculture as well as organic farming. Attempts are being made to enhance the

    productivity of wetlands through stocking of fingerlings and ultimately to boost the aquaculture

    aimed at ending the dependence on other states in the field of fish availability.

    Almost 90 percent of the wetlands are in North Bihar and are dependent upon six major tributaries

    of the Ganga flowing out from the central Himalaya on to the plains, between the Nepalese border

    and the Ganga itself.

    From the river Gandak in the west to river Mahananda in the east, the northern part of the Gangetic

    plains is studded with numerous small freshwater lakes and chaurs (tectonic depressions), the vast

    majority of which are oxbow lakes marking the historical courses of the Bayanadi, Burhi Gandak,

    Sapt Kosi and Mahananda rivers.

    The wetlands in the form of mauns, chaurs and flood plains are fisheries potential resources. Out

    of the existing wetland resources in Bihar, a large number of wetlands are in government sector

    and sizeable number of wetlands are in private sector. These wetlands need to be stocked to

    enhance the productivity. So, this proposal will be a milestone in enhancing the fish productivity

    of the wetlands in the State.

    Introduction Inland capture fisheries in India have declined in recent years, leaving

    thousands of fishers to sink deeper into poverty. Freshwater aquaculture in

    small water bodies like ponds now contributes 80% of the country’s inland

    fish production. However, future growth in freshwater aquaculture to meet

    rising demand for fish is likely to be constrained by limited supplies of land

    for digging new ponds and of water to fill them. In this context, Wetlands

    & reservoirs offer immense scope for increasing fish production. They can

    both provide nutritional security in remote areas that lack adequate supplies

    of animal protein and sustain the livelihood of landless fishers who can no

    longer survive by fishing in depleted rivers and other natural freshwater

    bodies. The scientific management of wetlands to sustainably enhance

    fisheries can therefore serve the twin purposes of:

    • providing rural areas with food and livelihoods and

    • protecting aquatic ecosystems, in particular by facilitating the

    conservation of indigenous fish species.

    Fish yield from floodplain wetlands has been estimated at 200-300

    kg/Ha/Year, against the production potential of 1,500-2,000 kg/Ha/Year.

    Stocking of wetlands will help in utilizing the resources available and

    hence this practice will help to augment fish production from floodplain

    wetlands.
