Course Name : Inland Fisheries

Code (Credit) : FSRM1206 (2-1-0)

Course Objectives

  • To study about Fish catch statistics
  • Riverine fisheries of India, Riverine systems and their fisheries
  • Dams and their effect on fish migration
  • Estuarine fisheries
  • Fisheries of lakes and reservoirs
  • Cold water fisheries of sport or commercial importance
  • Fishing crafts and gears and
  • Flood-plain capture fishery

Learning Outcomes

  • Inland fisheries are "any activity conducted to extract fish and other aquatic organisms from inland waters”.
  • Capture fisheries in inland waters have long provided an important source of food for mankind. They are critical for a subset of countries in the world, providing an important source of nutrition, food security as well as micro-nutrients.
  • Inland fisheries are under increasing pressure and threats arising from far reaching changes to the aquatic environment arising from human activities such as damming, navigation, wetland reclamation for agriculture, urbanization, water extraction and transfer, and waste disposal.
  • Ecological and economical value of different inland fishery resources
  • Crafts and gears in inland waters

    • Course Syllabus
