Abstract/Description: | Canals in Indian Sundarbans are still underutilized in terms of sustainable fish production. Erection of barriers in these canals is a common practice for catching fishes. This may lead to intensive fishing of innate fishes and also barring natural recruitment into the canal. To rejuvenate and augment fish productions from canals, a degree of management is required for these resources. ICAR-CIFRI has initiated the staggered stocking of IMC in six freshwater canals of Sundarbans. It was reported that the practice of simple release of Indian Major Carps (IMC) in these canals produced 800 kg/ha/year of table sized fish without supplementary feeding. Similarly, in net partitions the maximum size recorded for catla, rohu and mrigal was 1.2, 1.0 and 0.80 kg respectively after six months of culture period. Stock enhancement in canals may be one of the noble options for sustainable fish production as well as support of the livelihood of rural poor fishers in Sundarbans. Attention has to be given to this pre-existing habitat to save water needed for farming and conservation of sustainable fish production. |
