Abstract: The study was undertaken in Bastar district of Chhattisgarh state to know the constraints perceived by the respondents of fishery cooperatives societies, SHGs and fishermen groups in various aspects of fish production. Six purposively selected blocks namely Jagdalpur, Bastar, Lohandiguda, Tokapal, Bakawand and Darbha located in Bastar district were selected and interviewed personally. The important constraints perceived by the respondents were heavy weed infestation, conflicts due to multipurpose use of ponds, involvement of middlemen, high netting charges as well as unavailability of transport facility.
