| Abstract | The fishing gear normally employed for harvesting the vast fishery resources of the Indian reservoirs are traditional gill nets, entangling nets, lines and shore seines . Burla Research Centre of CIFT (Burla, Orissa) successfully conducted experimental trawl fishing in Hirakud reservoir . The results were quite encouraging . The catch consisted mainly of catfishes and unwanted trash fishes. Carps were conspicuously absent in the catch . Trawling has been found to be more efficient than conventional gear in removing predators and trash fishes especially off the bottom . This method can be of much help in controlling the proliferation of such fishes in many Indian reservoirs . |
