Abstract

Paddy-cum-fish culture in lowland at Moyna block of Purba Medinipur district, West Bengal, India now enjoyed a national importance for development of socio-economic conditions of the rural community. lt seems to have a great potential in India which requires small cash outlays and could provide significant increases in rural employment in short time frame. Several factors are regulates the economic efficiency in the combination system of fish farming. Likewise, reliable sources of quality fish seeds, supplemental feeds and antibiotics, control of predators and pests as well as water quality plays the key factors. Rearing oflndian Major Carps as culture species and minimize the other input cost fishennen become economically beneficial. Consequently, a challenge already proven to protect the bio-geo texture of land and environment by adopting the sustainable management practices within the culture based areas at Moyna, West Bengal, India. A thought provoking analysis based approaches has been done to reveal the freshwater fish production scenario, cost-profit structure and physico-chemical condition of mentioned areas displayed zone wise. To protect, the dilemma of negative impacts of unscientific fish farming practices the urgent need of several significant strategies must be taken by local fish farmers as well as policy makers. Otherwise, the consistent aquatic environment along with the fish farming system will be disrupting in upcoming days.
