Fish and rice is staple food for the people ofAssam. Assam is gifted with abundant freshwater resources which can generate food and income ifutilize to full potential. The study was conducted in Lumding town to identify factors that influence the socio-economic condition of fish farmers, who were involved in culturing various fish species in ponds and how the adoption ofmodern fish farming technology would help in improving their status. Data were collected from 110 respondents randomly sampled, through questionnaire survey and a structured interview schedule. There are 171 fish ponds in and around Lumding and among fish farmers men outnumbered women. Most of the farmers belonged to scheduled caste (54.5%) and 51 % elders were engaged in fish farming. Majority of the fish farmers had their own land and practiced fish farmin...

The seasonal variations in TDS and conductivity are mainly due to the ionic composition of water. In the present study, the seasonal variations in TDS and conductivity of freshwater pond of Lumding were studied during the year 2010-2011. A positive correlation between TDS and conductivity was observed.
