      Pisciculture, also known as pisciculture or aquaculture, is the practice of breeding and raising fish in controlled environments such as ponds, tanks, or enclosures for commercial or recreational purposes. Pisciculture involves the cultivation of various fish species including freshwater and marine fish, shellfish, and crustaceans.

      Two types of capture fisheries are:

      1. Inland Fisheries: Fishing activities carried out in freshwater bodies such as rivers, lakes, ponds, and reservoirs.

      2. Marine Fisheries: Fishing activities conducted in oceans, seas, and other saltwater bodies.

      Three important government schemes for the development of the fisheries sector in India are:

      1. Pradhan Mantri Matsya Sampada Yojana (PMMSY):

        • Launched to enhance fish production, productivity, quality, and technology adoption in the fisheries and aquaculture sector.
        • Aims to boost income generation, employment opportunities, and exports from the fisheries sector.

      2. Blue Revolution Scheme:

        • Focuses on the development and management of fisheries and aquaculture resources to increase fish production and promote sustainable fishing practices.
        • Includes components like fish seed production, integrated fish farming, and infrastructure development.

      3. National Fisheries Development Board (NFDB) Schemes:

        • NFDB implements various schemes to promote fisheries and aquaculture development, including fishery infrastructure development, seed production, technology adoption, and training programs for fish farmers.

      These government schemes aim to modernize and transform the fisheries sector, improve livelihoods of fisherfolk, promote sustainable aquaculture practices, and contribute to food security and economic growth in India. The schemes emphasize infrastructure development, capacity building, and technology transfer to enhance productivity and profitability in the fisheries and aquaculture industry.
