(e) and (f): Fish production is undertaken in diverse production systems such as public ponds and reservoirs in extensive manner and private ponds, Recirculatory Aquaculture System(RAS) and Biofloc units in an intensive manner. Productivity varies considerably depending on the stocking density and quantity of feed given. This also varies from State to State and also depends on type of species. Therefore, the Department of Fisheries has not compiled such reports. Under Pradhan Mantri  Matsya  Sampada  Yojana(PMMSY),  the  Department  of  Fisheries  has  roped  in  National Productivity  Council(NPC)  to  conduct  a  nation-wide  sample  study  to  assess  production  and productivity across regions, production systems and verities of species.
