Abstract
Odisha is one of the important maritime states of India having tremendous reach for fisheries and aquaculture development. The increasing species diversification in freshwater aquaculture is emphasized in current years for realization of higher yield through effective use of niches of the pond environment. Widening of the consumers' choice through production of varied fish protein, species diversification also helps in conservation of the vulnerable species. The present review has described few species in nutshell that can be undertaken in large scale farming under the umbrella of species diversification in Odisha on the basis of market demands, consumer preference, their potential based on the literature.
