1.1.6. Other freshwater resources
Unit 1 - Fish seed resources and natural breeding of finfishes
Reservoir fish seed resources
- The reservoirs in Uttar Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh, by virtue of their being connected with the Ganga river system, have a natural stock of major carps.
- But in view of a large volume of water impounded by them, the original stock is being supplemented by stocking them regularly with major carp fingerlings.
- The reservoirs across other basins, however, do not have a natural stock of major carps. Hence, major carp fingerlings produced elsewhere were brought and released in them.
