Income from Fish farming has a different nomenclature , which is different from Agriculture. Also, in a case filed in the income tax appellate tribunal in Hyderabad , the details of which are given here: Karra Jayabhyarathi vs Income Tax Officer on 31 May, 2005

It is clearly stated that the element of agriculture is Land whereas the element of fish farming is water , therefore cultivation of fish does not come under the ambit of agriculture.

Therefore the income arising out of fish farming is taxed as Income from Business.
