Fisheries
The fisheries sector in Dhulia district was primarily supported by its rivers and tanks. According to the Dhulia Gazetteer of 1974, the district had 13 tanks, of which Dedargaon, Mukti, and Gondur were the most significant perennial water bodies, considered suitable for fisheries development. The Tapi River, spanning nearly 86 kilometers, served as a major freshwater resource, supporting a variety of fish species such as catfishes, murrels, and minor carps. Streams connected to the Tapi River were known for yielding Tor-tor (locally called Vadis), while Bhil women engaged in collecting loaches from sandy beds for sale.
At that time, the fishing communities mainly consisted of Bhois, with some involvement from Bhils and Kolis. While fishing was a primary occupation, many fishermen also pursued agriculture, particularly watermelon cultivation along river beds during the summer months.
The Fisheries Department made efforts to promote pisciculture by surveying water bodies and introducing fast-growing fish varieties like Labeo rohita, Catla catla, and Cirrhina mrigala.
