Several estimates proclaim that the demand for fish will be manifold incoming years and the inland fishery sector has to play a significant role in meeting this upsurging demand. The Cage aquaculture system is expected to play a significant role in fulfilling the vision of blue revolution in the country through incorporation of enclosure aquaculture in inland open waters. Bihar being the land of vast inland aquatic resource, where most of the large water bodies are in underutilized condition, adoption of cage aquaculture will effectively utilize the water bodies and will contribute towards enhancing the socio-economic status, increasing the employment generation as well as providing nutritional security to the people.
