Description
The North-East Region comprising of States of Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, Meghalaya, Manipur, Mizoram, Nagaland, Sikkim and Tripura is blessed with rich biodiversity and fishery resources. More than 90 percent of 40 million population of the region are fish eaters. A wide gap, however, exists between demand and supply. In fact, consumer's demand are being increasingly met by importing from outside the region.Northeast India is very rich in freshwater fishes, that accounts for 236 species.The two Wetlands in the Ramsar List i.e. Deepor Beel of Assam and Loktak Lake of Manipur have drawn international attention.The major challenge before the fisheries sector is how to ensure sustainable livelihood for the resource users of the sector despite confronting social, economic, ecological or climatic bottlenecks. The Fisheries Statistics Section of the Department of Animal Husbandry and Dairying in the Ministry of Agriculture is in charge of compiling the data relating to this sector through different state government. While teaching at UG and PG level at the college of Fisheries, Central Agricultural University, Agartala the authors found that some data are available in raw and scattered form. It is widely accepted that raw data is difficult to comprehand, so authors tried to transform raw. data to information to knowledge to wisdom. In the process scattered data of North Eastern States are collected, compiled, analysed, fitted trends, developed models on various physical, socioeconomic, management variables to have indepth look into the matters that exists in reality. The present value added presentation of fisheries resources and production alongwith plan outlay and development initiative of various states is first of its kind. The book contains altogether 158 tables of raw data as well as in exploratory analytical form. Natural resources in the form of rivers, lakes, beels, resorvoirs and ponds and tanks are depicted through lively photos that are unique of its kind. The insightful analytical output may help in planning and development efforts with the Present Govt. of India's policy of spending 10 percent of its total budget outlay for the development of NE Region through various departments. This book entitled 'Fisheries Resources and Production Statistics of North Eastern States of India- An Analytical Value Added Presentation' is a comprehensive overview of the resource and production statistics that too in analytical form capable of knowledge discovery in data.This book is intended for a wide audience of readers who are not necessarily experts in data analysis. Exploratory data analysis provides valuable hidden scientific intelligence from a large amount of time series data.Answer to a lot of queries like (i) is fish production of a state depends on fish seed production? (ii) is budget allocation in fisheries sector during successive FYP enhancing fish production? (iii) What is the functional form of relationship between area under fish culture and fish production? (iv) Trends of fish production, fish seed production, water area development of the NE States (v) What is the impact of development initiatives on overall fish production of a state? Many more answers to such questions will be available in quantitative terms and in analytical form with illustrations with real empherical data.It is expected that the value added book with in-depth statistical analysis and presented in graphical and pictorial form will be useful for all section of people concerned with fisheries and aquaculture activities in the region specifically sharing knowledge leading to innovation in the longrun.
