Odisha has significant inland and marine fisheries resources including tanks, ponds, reservoirs, rivers, estuaries, and the Chilika Lake. Total fish production in Odisha has increased from 386,185 tonnes in 2010-11 to 469,548 tonnes in 2014-15. Freshwater production comes primarily from tanks and ponds, accounting for 84% of freshwater production in 2014-15. Brackishwater production includes cultured shrimp and fisheries catch. Marine production fluctuates between 113,890-160,080 tonnes annually depending on factors like monsoon. Per capita fish consumption in Odisha has also increased from 9.42kg in 2010-11 to 11.

16. FRESH WATER PRODUCTION:-
Now there are about 62167 ha of fresh water area is under scientific farming
under FFDAs in 30 districts. The average fish production from these area is
around 2.13 ton/ha.
The average productivity of the reservoir was around 7.5 kg/ha before the
reservoir fisheries policy as compared to the national 15kg/ha. But after the policy
the productivity is increased to 9.3 kg/ha which is due to the continuous stocking of
fingerlings.
