Course Syllabus

  • Theory
    Definition of reservoirs in India; nature and extent of reservoirs, topography and species diversity; importance of morpho-edaphic index in reservoir productivity and classification; factors influencing fish production; trophic phases in reservoir; pre-impoundment and postimpoundment stages and their significance in establishment of reservoirs fisheries. Salient features of reservoir limnology and their significance to fisheries development; management of small, medium and large reservoirs; present status and future prospects in reservoirs fish production. Fisheries of some important reservoirs; recent advances in reservoirs fisheries management; conservation measures in reservoir fisheries. Fish stocking in Reservoirs Role of cage and pen culture in site of cage culture; cage materials,designs, shape, size and fabrication; cage frames and supporting system. Integration of cage ulture with other farming systems. History of pen culture, pen materials, fabrication; breeding of fish in pen; rearing of spawn in pen; grow-out from pens. Suitable species for culture in cages and pens; constraints in cage and pen culture; economics of cage and pen culture.
  • Practicals
  • Preparation of charts on the present situation of reservoirs fisheries productivity; detailed case studies of selected reservoirs on the changing trends in capture fisheries profile; drawing inferences from the analysis of data; suggestions for the sustainable development of reservoirs fisheries. Case studies on cage and pen culture; field visit to cage and pen culture site to acquaint with construction details and operation.
