4.2.9.9 Vallabhsagar Reservoir (Ukai, Gujarat)
It is a productive reservoir (52,000ha) across Tapti river which yielded 8,000 t (160 kg/ha) of fish in 1997-98 and it is still capable of yielding 220 kg/ha. The catches of major carps continue to decline but those of catfishes are increasing. The reservoir is unique in having an endemic Hilsa population contributed 199 t (2.3%) in 1998-99. The reservoir is a good example of socio-economic reform. |
