Conservation Needs of Freshwater Fin-Fish Genetic Resources

Abstract

The present communication deals with the general picture of fish and fisheries status of river Ghaghra and other wetlands of district
Faizabad and adjoining regions and the status of fish production from river stock, and also with the problems of fish farmers that they face during fish culture on their fish farm. During observation it is noticed that fish production from river is continuously decreasing due to overfishing and lack of well planned programme and a continuous decrease in fish production causing loss of biodiversity. During present investigation some other reasons are also discussed which are responsible for decline of production
