Uttar Pradesh is India's most populous state with enough fisheries resources in the form of ponds, tanks, with dominance of rivers and man made reservoirs. Fish production in the state was only 325.95 thousand tones (2007-08) and it is less than national average. In this study trend of fish seed production and fish production and also their interrelationship was analyzed. The time series data analysis for period 1994-2008 reveals that both fish seed production and fish production in the state are increasing over the years. The regression equation of fish seed production and fish production is established (Yest= 0.275X-16.16; R2=0.971). This result clearly indicates a very good fit of the empirical data suggesting the fact that 97.1 % of the variability in fish production is explained by the seed production alone. A strong significant relation between two variables (R= 0.97) justifies the need of quality seed production for enhanced sustainable fish production.

Abstract


Uttar Pradesh is India's most populous state with enough fisheries resources in the form of ponds, tanks, with dominance of rivers and man made reservoirs. Fish production in the state was only 325.95 thousand tones (2007-08) and it is less than national average. In this study trend of fish seed production and fish production and also their interrelationship was analyzed. The time series data analysis for period 1994-2008 reveals that both fish seed production and fish production in the state are increasing over the years. The regression equation of fish seed production and fish production is established (Yest= 0.275X-16.16; R2=0.971). This result clearly indicates a very good fit of the empirical data suggesting the fact that 97.1 % of the variability in fish production is explained by the seed production alone. A strong significant relation between two variables (R= 0.97) justifies the need of quality seed production for enhanced sustainable fish production.
