classified broadly into two categories
i.e. fresh water fisheries and brackish
water fisheries. Fish Farmers
Development Agency (FFDA) is a
centrally sponsored scheme and
implemented in all the 30 districts of
Odisha for promotion of pisciculture
and providing technical and logistic
support to fish farmers.
l
The Central Institute of Fresh Water
Aquaculture (CIFA) established in
1987 has implemented various
development projects.
Brackish Water Fisheries
l
Brackish Water Fisheries
Development Agencies have been set
up in seven coastal districts abundant
in brackish water resources.
l
Chilika lake is the main source of
brackish water fisheries in Odisha.
Brackish water is when salt and fresh
water gets mixed.

Phulnakhara (Cuttack) and one State
Veterinary Laboratory (SVL) at
Chipilima (Sambalpur) for livestock

Fisheries Development
in Odisha
l
As per Economic Survey 2017-18,
per-capita fish consumption per annum
is 13.49 kg which is higher than the
national average of 7-8 kg per annum.
l
Odisha, being a coastal state, has
considerable scope for development
of inland, brackish water and marine
fisheries. The state is endowed with a
long coastline of 480 kms with
continental shelf area of 24,000 sq
km along the Bay of Bengal. Fish is a
popular food item in Odisha.
l
The sector plays elemental role in
uplifting economy of the state and its
people. The Odisha Fisheries Policy
2015 is working for improving the
fishery sector in Odisha.
l
Fisheries sector of Odisha is
constituted from two components; i.e.
Inland fisheries and Marine fisheries.
Inland Fisheries
l
The inland fisheries in Odisha can be
classified broadly into two categories
i.e. fresh water fisheries and brackish
water fisheries. Fish Farmers
Development Agency (FFDA) is a
centrally sponsored scheme and
implemented in all the 30 districts of
Odisha for promotion of pisciculture
and providing technical and logistic
support to fish farmers.
l
The Central Institute of Fresh Water
Aquaculture (CIFA) established in
1987 has implemented various
development projects.
Brackish Water Fisheries
l
Brackish Water Fisheries
Development Agencies have been set
up in seven coastal districts abundant
in brackish water resources.
l
Chilika lake is the main source of
brackish water fisheries in Odisha.
Brackish water is when salt and fresh
water gets mixed.
103 Animal Husbandry in Odisha
l
Chilika lake is spread over Puri, Khurda and Ganjam districts. It forms the largest
lagoon and holds around 225 fish species. Tiger Prawns, Crabs, Herrings, Hilsa,
Mullet, Shrimps are the major fishes reared in the fisheries around Chilika lake.
Marine Fisheries
l
As per Economic Survey 2017-18, the state has 6% of the coastline and 4.7% of
the continental shelf area of the country.
l
The state has 73 marine fish landing centres. Among 6 coastal districts, Puri has
the longest coastline of 155 kms and Bhadrak the shortest with 50 kms. Prawn,
catfish and promfrets are some of the important species produced in state.
l
Odisha Maritime Fishing Regulation Act is being implemented in the state to
safeguard the coastal water areas of the state.
l
Both fresh water and brackish water prawn culture have assumed considerable
importance on account of their profitability as well as foreign exchange earning
capability.
Odisha Pisciculture Development Corporation Limited (OPDC)
It was established in the year 1998 by taking over the activities of the erstwhile
Orissa Fish Seed Development Corporation Limited and Orissa Maritime and
Chilika Area Development Corporation Limited. It is located in Bhubaneswar. Its
main objective is to carry on the business of development of Pisciculture in brackish
water areas and freshwater ponds, rivers, steams, lakes, rivulets, etc. The
corporation also breeds different species of prawns, fishes, crabs and other aquatic
organisms and sea foods.
State Initiatives for Fishery Development
FisheryDevelopmentPolicy It has been formulated as a part of the Agriculture
Policy, 2008. The main objective of this policy is to increase fish seed production and
fish production in order to provide self-employment opportunities. This will increase
the Per Capita Income and eradicate poverty by utilising unexploited water resources
through application of new technologies.
FishFarmersDevelopmentAgency This scheme is sponsored by the Central
Government. It is implemented to develop pond areas and to train fish farmers in
modern pisciculture techniques. There are 30 Fish Farmers Development Agencies
(FFDA), one in each district. Two on-going schemes, namely Fish Farmers
Development Agencies (FFDA) and Brackish Water Fish Farmers Development
Agencies (BFFDA), have been merged and renamed as Development of Inland
Fisheries and Aquaculture (DIFA). Fish farms are developed at Chandrabhaga in
Puri, Gopalpur in Ganjam and Konark.
TheStateReservoirFisheryPolicy It has been formulated with a view to introducing
scientific and remunerative pisciculture in reservoirs. It aims to attract private
investment from the reservoir resources.
