About the Book
This publiation reviews the existing literature on limnology and fisheries of indian reservoirs, covering more than 100 reservoirs in various parts of the country. The fisheries resources and their utilization are discussed separately for each state, with additional information on water quality, biotic communities, modes of exploitation, craft and gear and fisheries management practices, including the selection of species for stocking, rate and the introduction of exotic species. Indian reservoirs have been stocked with indo-Gangetic carp for many decades, and the impact of this stocking on fish production and the indigenous faunistic diversity has been assessed. An effort has been made to gauge the such as meteorlogical, morphometric and hydroedaphic features on the production dynamics of reservoirs in different geoclimatic regions. An attempt has also been made to resolve anomalies of classification and nomenclature to the extent possible. Factors responsible for the slow rate of fisheries development have been identified.
