Description 1098-1101
Traditional knowledge (TK) plays a very important role in the lives of millions of people around the world. There is an
immense need for documentation of traditional knowledge especially in countries rich in biodiversity, such as India. Bargi is
one of the major dams constructed on the river Narmada in Madhya Pradesh. Local communities have used various fishing
methods since time immemorial. Construction of the dam changes the ecology and hydrology of the river. Tribal
communities have adapted their fishing techniques to these changes and have also developed new techniques. Fishing
technique described in this paper is practiced around Bargi Reservoir. Five types of crafts and different gears were
encountered during the two years of seasonal survey.
