Abstract/Description: | The Northeastern region of India comprising of eight landlocked states viz., Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, Manipur, Meghalaya, Nagaland, Sikkim and Tripura is one of India’s richest regions in terms of natural resources and biodiversity. The region has vast and varied fisheries resources in the form of reservoirs, tanks and ponds, beels, oxbow lakes and other derelict waters covering 4.18 lakh ha water-spread area, excluding rivers and streams which is estimated at 20,875 km. The two main river systems in the region are the Brahmaputra in the north and the Barak, running through the southern edges, together with their numerous tributaries. The region is rich in freshwater fish species and is regarded as one of the world’s hotspots for freshwater fish biodiversity. As many as 422 fish species from northeast India, belonging to 133 genera and 38 families, including indigenous and exotic species, have been reported. These beautiful resources make tremendous contributions towards overall fish production in the region. Fisheries and Aquaculture sub-sector has immense potential for providing employment opportunities to youth, livelihood to rural masses and economic development as a whole for the region. There is a growing demand for fish and fishery products in the region due to increasing population, per capita income, urbanization and changes in food habits. There is a tremendous scope for development of fisheries and aquaculture in the region, but lags behind the rest of the country in fully harnessing its potential. The region is deficient in fish production; it depends on others to fulfil its demand. Hence, there is an urgent need to increase fish production from these available resources to fill the gap. To achieve this goal, there is a need to utilize these fisheries resources of the region in a sustainable manner. The articles in this special issue of the magazine cover different aspects of fisheries and aquaculture development the region towards this end. |
