DETAILS OF FISH FARMS
The trend of establishing fish farms in the district is on the rise, and one
comes across many such farms, on both sides of the road, particularly on
entering Muzaffargarh from the Head Muhammadwala Bridge over the River
Chenab. These farmers have gone a step ahead of many of their counterparts
in other districts, and got them registered as Muzaffargarh Fish Farmers
Association. No wonder Muzaffargarh today is counted as one of the top 5
fish producing districts of Punjab.

The total area under fish farms in the district is 15274.5 acres producing
1603.82 metric ton of fish every year. The Department earned Rs.
1,50,773,601 as income during the Financial Year 2018-19.
