It is interesting to note that only 15-20% farmers are adopting the recommended package of practices and 25% adopting partially where as large number of farmers have not adopted it due to unknown reason. The annual production of the fish in this region ranges from 1-8 tone/ha showing the ample scope of improving the annual yeild if the farmers adopt the recommended practices properly.
