Present status of the Himalayan mahseer Tor putitora, an endangered species in Nainital lakes of Uttar Pradesh
1996
Pandey, K.D.
The present status of the Himalayan mahseer in the three lakes of Nainital district of Uttar Pradesh is discussed based on the catch data from 1983-84 to 1992-93. Yield of mahseer have shown a gradual decline in the recent years. Besides catch statistics, market arrivals and availability of fish to anglers have also shown a marked decline. Tor putitora is being considered as an endangered fish. It is therefore necessary to repopulate the lakes with the mahseer by adopting better management practices like stocking the lakes continually with sufficient mahseer fingerlings and enforce strict conservation measures to stop killing of juveniles.
