I am knot knowledgeable on fish varieties. But I assume it is the kind
of water that will determine what fish can be raised. West coast does
not have rivers like Ganges and Brahmaputra entering sea. After
Narmada no significant river enters sea on the west coast. Sea inlets
are many and I am sure fish-farms have come up in many places. Intake
of fish in Gujarat being very low it has to be ex****ted.
