  • Trout & Carp Fish Farms in Himachal Pradesh an Assessment Report
    Trout & Carp Fish farms in Himachal Pradesh An Assessment Report Preamble: Fish farms are the foundation stones of Fisheries development in Inland Fisheries Sector. The seed produced at these seed production centres is either used for replenishing the harvested fish stock of open waters i.e. rivers or reservoirs or is further reared under semi-controlled conditions in growing ponds and sold for table purposes. Our state is one of the state amongst a few in the Union of India which has been gifted by the mother nature with the rivers emanating from glaciers, which traverse through hilly terrains and finally enrich the semi-plain and plain areas of the state adjoining Punjab and Haryana. Himachal Pradesh has approximately 3000 kms of riverine length and four reservoirs namely Gobind sagar, Maharana Partap sagar, Pandoh and Chamera constructed on Satluj, Beas, and Ravi rivers respectively. The upper zones of rivers inhabit indigenous Schizothoracids, and exotic salmonids (trout) while the zones interspersing the semi-plain and plain areas are the abodes of Himalayan tiger- the mighty mahseer, Indian Major Carps and the much sought after catfishes such as Singhara (Mystus seenghala) Malhee (Wallago attu) and Soal (Channa species). Keeping in view the variegated nature of water resources the Government of Himachal Pradesh through its department of Fisheries has setup two types of fish seed farms- Coldwater or Trout fish seed farms and warm water or Carp seed farms. The mandate of these farms till recently was to produce the seed of trout and carps and stock it in rivers and reservoirs with an aim of replenishing the harvested stocks from these water bodies.

WPI routinely publishes these reports on its website without editorial or peer review. For more information about the projects program at WPI, please see http://www.wpi.edu/Acadmics/Project 1 Abstract Ecotourism is sustainable, nature-based tourism, that is environmentally conservative while maintaining local culture and contributing to the well-being of the host community. The goal of this project was to develop a list of best practices and recommendations for sustainable tourism and ecotourism that are specific to Himachal Pradesh, India. To develop our understanding of the tourism and ecotourism sector in the region, we spoke with government officials, business owners, and tourists. Additionally, we analyzed tourist locations for their capacity to sustain ecotourism. Finally, we combined the academic best practices and our analysis to create a set of recommendations for sustainable development at potential ecotourism sites in Himachal Pradesh. I Executive Summary The term ecotourism emerged to succinctly describe sustainable, nature-based tourism.

A total of 47 species Department of Environmental Sciences, Hemvati Nandan belonging to 43 genera of four families (Bacillariophyceae; Chlorophyceae; Cyanophyceae; Bahughuna Garhwal University, India Dinophyceae) of phytoplankton were encounted during the study. Bacillariophyceae was the dominant family representing 20 genera followed by Chlorophyceae (16 genera), Correspondence: Sushma Singh, Department of Cyanophyceae (4 genera) and Dinophyceae (3 genera). A highly significant (F=14.59; Environmental Sciences, Hemvati Nandan Bahughuna Garhwal p=1.43E-08) seasonal variation in the abundance of phytoplankton community of Dodi University, (A Central University) Srinagar, Garhwal, 246174, Tal was recorded. Maximum abundance of phytoplankton (1,270±315.00ind.l-1) was Uttarakhand, India, Email [email protected] found in autumn season and minimum (433.00±75.00ind.l-1) in monsoon season. Multiple regression analysis made between density of phytoplankton and environmental variables Received: July 31, 2018 | Published: November 05, 2018 revealed that the abundance of phytoplankton has a negative correlation with TDS, alkalinity, dissolved oxygen, pH and Chlorides. However, it has a positive correlation with water temperature phosphates and nitrates. Shannon Wiener diversity index was recorded maximum (4.09) in autumn season and minimum (3.59) in monsoon season. Canonical Correspondence Analysis (CCA) was also calculated between physico-chemical variables and phytoplankton diversity for assessing the effect of physico- chemical variables on various taxa of phytoplankton.
