    NFDB aims to realize the potential of state through scientific, managerial and financial support to state fish farmers and entrepreneurs. The state of Assam has taken benefit from NFDB in Intensive Aquaculture in Ponds and Tanks, Reservoir Fisheries Development, Domestic marketing, Technology upgradation and other activities. It needs no mention that Fisheries and Aquaculture sector of Assam has been witnessing an impressive growth during last decade, but the immense potential of existing fisheries resources is yet to be fully harnessed through scientific management.
