The present research data revealed that total species richness of 33 and 24 number of fish species were identified in river Ganga and Yamuna respectively. The size group of mahseer (400-460mm) recorded as a dominant size of catch composition and contributed about 36.8% and 42.6% based on different sampling sites in river Yamuna and Ganga respectively. The populations of Tor tor, T. putitora have shown a decreasing trend at very alarming rate and influenced the sex ratio, maturity size and natural breeding condition. Only 12.5 to 14.8% mahseer female brooders have shown maturity phase or emenable to release ova during particular breeding seasons. The fecundity of mature female fish brooders ranged from 2500-4500 no.

Then only one can think in terms of its eco- development or establishing eco-development in the newly formed State. To evolve a strategy for achieving these objectives, one has to understand the geographical profile and historical perspective of the region, understand its milieu and ethos of its people as well, its cultural background, fairs and festivals, language, folk songs and dances, its resources, simple technologies for capacity building of women there, vocational education, entrepreneurship, problems and needs of the local population, health status of the people, movements launched by the people from time to time and scores of things to determine the right mode of development. Part ‘A’ of the book deals with Uttarakhand–ID, Part ‘B’ talks of various challenges before the emerging State of Uttarakhand, economic scenariao and viability and Part ‘C’ deals with searching a role model of intelligent industrialisation of the State, finding out the main resources and their utilisation for the development of the State and Administrative and Management problems as also the strategy and approach to realize the objectives for the State.
