Shrimp Cultivation

This article attempts to provide a theoretical model of a small local mangrove economy. The structure of the model is based on observations from a qualitative field survey conducted in the Sunderbans region of West Bengal. The study showed that fishery is the primary source of income in this region. Agriculture is practised by many, but due to soil salinity, the sector, at best, provides sustenance for the family. Most of the other requirements are met from goods bought from outside. The role of the forest cover on shrimp cultivation is captured through the productivity effect, which increases the output per unit of labour and capital. In this structure, an optimum tariff on the timber industry is derived, and it is shown that the optimum tariff depends on the intensity of the productivity effect.

Forest cover in hilly regions is essential to maintain ecological balances. North Bengal estimates approximately 3,086 sq km i.e. 26 % of 11,876 sq km of classified forests in West Bengal and nearly 5,000 sq km (~40 %) of tree cover. Rishyap village (26.84o N, 88.60o E) in the Kalimpong District of West Bengal State, India. The study was done in 2019-2020 in Rishyap Forest Village. Primary data and pictorial documentation were gathered through field survey and direct interactions with local people and other authorities. Surveys on demography, agriculture, biodiversity, human-animal conflict were done. Topographic map of the area was prepared from Google map database. The ecological tools like quadrat method , transect line method, pitfall trap, light trap were used to study diversity, density and abundance of trees, birds and arthropods. The different lifestyles of the people in Rishyap were also noted. Further study is needed to collectively analyse the biodiversity.
