Abstract

Though agriculture continues to be the predominant livelihood option for the millions residing within the Indian Sundarban Biosphere Reserve (SBR), inland fishing has lately emerged as a promising and viable option to alleviate the financial status of the grossly impoverished population of this region. Ponds and rearing of fishes in those ponds are integral components of the daily life of the people of Sundarbans. However, fishes are grown in most of the household ponds for self-consumption, and extensively without much investment. Aquaculture operations, on the other hand, require substantial scientific intervention to commercialize the fish yield and get a handsome return against the time and labor input. The present chapter collated the knowledge acquired so far in this domain, from the perspective of SBR. The fish diversity and the aquaculture management practices are detailed in a nutshell. The salient features and the typical characteristics of the ponds of the SBR are also discussed. This chapter also identifies the basic threats and challenges that the aquaculture farms of this region are facing at present. Overall, this chapter gives a brief overview of the inland fish farming practice and the attitude of the local inhabitants towards this promising sector of earning revenues.
