Fish and fish products have presently emerged as the largest group in agricultural exports from India, with 13.77 lakh tonnes in terms of quantity and Rs. 45,106.89 crore in value.The present study was conducted during the period of years (2018-19).It was found thatthe estimated per hectare total cost of fish production was Rupees 139956.00, 86018.94 and 44720.58 on small, medium and large farms respectively, indicating highest cost incurred in small followed by medium and large category. The average fish production was 3449.35 kg. per hectare in the study area and 4651.70, 2668.18 and 1989.47 kg. per hectare were in small, medium and large category respectively. The average net profit was Rupees 140666.05 per hectare in the study area. The average net profit was Rupees 140666.05 per hectare in the study area. The estimated total cost of production of fish under extensive practices was Rupees 99145.41 per hectare and in semi-intensive the total cost was Rupees 98907.97 per hectare. The average net profit under extensive fish practices was estimated to be Rupees 109942.77 per hectare but in case of semi-intensive practices the average net profit was more (Rupees 150906.47 per hectare) as compared to extensive practices. The average total fish production was found to be more in case of semi-intensive fish practices as compared to extensive (3043.58 kg. per hectare) and it was 3587.60 kg. per hectare. The total estimated cost of production of fish practices was Rupees 98966.82 and 91946.82 per hectare under poly-culture and monoculture. The average total production under poly-culture and monoculture was estimated to be 3449.35 and 3333.89 kg. per hectare. The average total return under poly-culture and monoculture was estimated to be Rupees 239632.87 and 212624.00 per hectare and net revenue was Rupees 140666.05 and 120677.18 per quintal under poly-culture and monoculture respectively.
