“…Until the mid-1980s, capture fisheries were the major sources of inland fish production. But since then, fish production from natural waterways, such as rivers and lakes, has trended downward, primarily due to a proliferation of water control structures, indiscriminate fishing, and habitat degradation (Katiha, 2000;Katiha et al, 2005). It is interesting to note that loss of yields in capture fisheries has been almost simultaneous to the achievements in the agriculture sector through the green revolution that was launched in the late 1960s.…”

From the beginning of history, fish became an inseparable part of human life in India. Over the course of time, fish proved to be food of high nutritional value through empirical observation. The practice of casting a fish motif on coins or stone sculptures and seals, or using fish insignia in flags by ancient Hindu and Muslim rulers in medieval India, or the use of fish as a symbol of fortune and an object in literature and folksongs, prove that fish transcended the narrow limits of cultural segmentation. The establishment of cities with an ever-increasing population and changing food habits created an obvious demand for large-scale fish culture in the 20th century. Fish production from natural waterbodies trended downward during the later decades of the 20th century. Meanwhile, the technologies of induced breeding and polyculture virtually revolutionized the freshwater pisciculture sector over the last 50 years, and Indian fish production registered excellent growth-from 0.75 mt in 1950 to 6.3 mt in 2002. Hopefully, pisciculture may be part of the solution to the increasing need for food diversity and arresting the decline in per capita protein nutrition of the Indian populace in the years to come.

“…Aquaculture as an enterprise has some innate advantages, such as high returns, high productivity, high feed conversion ratio, utilization of agriculture and animal wastes, and high employment generation (Katiha, 2000). Aquaculture is increasingly becoming one of the fastest growing aspect of the plant industry worldwide (FAO, 2004).…”

“…The culture of carps forms the backbone of freshwater aquaculture practice in India (Katiha et al, 2005;FAO, 2014). As an initiative for diversification of species, the Indian government, permitted exotic O. niloticus to be integrated into existing aquaculture systems from 2012.…”

This paper reviews the current status of freshwater aquaculture in both India and Uganda. India has a long history of aquaculture, dating from the 4 th century. Subsequently, the country has become a major contributor to global aquaculture and is believed to have more than 10% of the global fish diversity. Currently, India is the second largest aquaculture producer in the world with global contribution of 6.3% and the major contribution comes from freshwater aquaculture, whose share has gone up from 46% in the 1980s to over 85% in the recent years. Since 1980s, India has emerged as one of the largest investors and trading partners of Uganda. As such, there is much that Uganda can adopt from the India's freshwater aquaculture given their political, social and economic relations established overtime between the two countries. As the largest producer of Indian major carps, India has set the pace for change and innovation in culture practices since the 1960s. Uganda's aquaculture is also undergoing changes to meet the challenges of increasing demand, such comparisons through comprehensive literature review and case studies can form a strong foundation for future investment in aquaculture. In addition, generating information for each country's comparative advantage in aquaculture can assist in developing strategies for structural adjustment programmes. Some of those strategies, might promote integration of economic activities, human capacity building, information sharing and technology transfer.
