The study deals with fisheries management in
Chaltia, a sewage fed lower Gangetic floodplain
wetland of West Bengal, in the context of changing
climate. The study was conducted through primary
investigation coupled with a stakeholder driven
approach. All the respondents perceived rise in
temperature, reduction in rainfall, and incidence of
extreme events as increasing threats to the wetland
fisheries. The water quality parameters indicated the
highly productive nature of the wetland. The APC of
bacteria ranged from 4950 to 5800 with an average value
of 5350±720 CFU/ml. The trophic state index (67.7)
indicated eutrophic nature. The fishers have adopted
Pen culture utilizing fast-growing hardy species viz.
Pangasianodon hypophthalmus and Oreochromis
niloticus, converting the waste into blue carbon. The
present fish yield realized through culture-based
fisheries ( CBF) practices from Chaltia wetland is 4745
kg/ha/yr which is much higher than the average yield of
wetlands of India. The study describes the SWOT
analysis, discusses different approaches, and
recommends important measures for sustainable
management of ecosystem and fisheries of the sewage
fed floodplain wetland.
