Fisheries in the North East India
The North Eastern states of India have enormous potential for inland and freshwater pisiculture. The total freshwater resource of the region is estimated at 15,728 km of river and canal, almost 89 thousand hectares of reservoirs, about 150 thousand hectares of streams and lakes and almost 85 thousand hectares of tanks and ponds.
Assam has the largest surface water population among the NE states and produces the largest quantity of fishes (over 65 %) in the region
