Description The development of coastal aquaculture and utilisation of
brackishwater areas for productive purposes are receiving priority
attention in our Fisheries Plan Schemes. Kerala has traditionally
an established crop-cum-flsh culture system in the pokkali
paddy fields of the Ernakulam and adjacent Districts. However,
in general the yield of the pokkali paddy strain is low being
700-1000 kg/ha/harvest. Similarly the production of fish and
prawn from wild stocking through tidal effects from these fields
is also low, yielding hardly about 400-700 kg/ha/season depending
upon the location and other parameters.
