Magur Fish Rice Transplanting Integrated Fish Farming in Bihar: a Comprehensive Research Analysis

Author(s) Dr. Ankit Kumar
Country India
Abstract Integrated rice-fish farming represents a paradigm shift toward sustainable agricultural intensification in Bihar's agricultural landscape. This comprehensive research examines Magur fish (Clarias batrachus) rice transplanting integrated fish farming systems, analysing their productivity potential, economic viability, and sustainability benefits within Bihar's specific agro-ecological context. Data synthesized from ICAR research facilities, government fisheries statistics, and peer-reviewed publications (2014-2024) reveals that Bihar has achieved remarkable aquaculture growth, progressing from 4.79 lakh metric tonnes (2014-15) to 8.73 lakh metric tonnes (2023-24), achieving 81.98% production increase and attaining 4th position nationally in fish production. Field investigations and techno-economic analyses demonstrate that rice-fish integrated systems incorporating Magur achieve average fish yields of 500-1,000 kg/ha annually with rice yield enhancements of 8-25% compared to monoculture systems. Economic modelling indicates net returns of ₹2,45,000-₹3,04,900/ha for diversified rice-fish-horticulture integration models, representing 2.31-2.36 benefit-cost ratios. This analysis establishes rice-fish farming as a scientifically validated, economically sustainable, and environmentally beneficial production system with exceptional livelihood potential for Bihar's smallholder farming communities, directly supporting state and national food security objectives while promoting agrarian transformation and natural resource optimization.
