Reservoir Fisheries And Ecology: A Literary Survey.
Reservoirs Are A Major, And In spite of Several Countries An Expanding, Water Resourrce Which Is Very Diverse Both In Terms Of Size And Fisheries Potential.
They Range From Small Water Bodies With Productive Improvement Based Fisherie sTo Expansive Reservoirs With Variable And Often Low Fish Production.
These Ecodystems Offer Enough Scope For Stodk Manipulation Through Ecological Maneuvering, Paving The Way For Production Hikes At A Relatively Low Capital Investment.
Unlike, The Aquaculture Systemx, Where The Development Is Capital Intensive, Reservoir Fisheries Development Is Labour Productive And Ensures Employment For Some Of The Weakest Sections Of The Society.
Recognising The Importance Of This Resource, In The Present Publication On 'reservoir Fisheries And Ecology: A Literary Survey' An Attempt Has Been Made To Gather More Than 900 References In Area Of Basin Fisheries And Ecology.
The Bibliography Is Useful For The Reservoir Fishery Researchers, Planners And Managers Involved In Investigation On Aspects Of Reservoir Fisheriea, Its Management And Ecology.
