culture has assumed great significance since 1982-83 when
brackish water prawn culture
started. It is being expanded as Orissa has a long coastline covering
old Cuttack, Puri, Balasore and Ganjam districts.
In
the coastal region of the state,1,263 mechanised boats and 3,500
country craft are operating from fishing centres
like Chandipur, Chudamani, Salugaon, Kalupadgha, Pathara and Najari,
where fishing jetties have been constructed. At Gopalpur, Dhamara and Astarang all-weather fishing ports have been built. While at Paradeep
a large deep sea fishing port has come up. When Paradeep is fully operational it will have a fleet of 50 deep sea fishing
vessels and 500 mechanised boats.

FISHING
Freshwater
resources have been estimated to be 80,000 ponds of various sizes,

reservoirs which are suitable for fresh water fish cultivation, for
which there is a ready local market. The catch finds a ready market
either in Calcutta or in Orissa. The Kaibartas of Ganjam, the Nolias
of Puri, the Gokhas of Cuttack and the Keatas of Balasore are the
principal social groups who depend primarily on fishing. The Hirakud,

Sericulture
is an agro-based industry having very high potential in rural Orissa.
sericulture is high employment oriented, requires low investment
and brings high return. It has a low gestation period, can help
earn a lot of foreign exchange and is non-polluting. Orissa is second
to Bihar in the manufacture of Tassar with a production of about
10 tonnes per annum. This variety of silk is mostly manufactured in
old Mayurbhanj, Sundergarh, Kendujhar, Sambalpur and Koraput district.
The Tassar worms thrive mostly on the shorea robusta (sal),
Terminalia arjuna and Terminalia tomentosa. All these trees are
found in abundance in the forests of Orissa. Sericulture which started
in Orissa 1926 in Cuttack, Puri and Ganjam districts gradually
spread to sundergarh, phulabani and Koraput districts. Mulberry silk
is much less important compared to Tassar and Eri in Orissa.
Since1981, the Bivoltive Sericulture Development project has been
taken up by the state Government. It covers areas in R.Udayagiri
and Mohana blocks and in old Koraput, Ganjan, phulabani,
