  • Mollusca Fauna of Itanagar Wildlife Sanctuary, Arunachal Pradesh
    Of IIDIA • . ZOOLWICALSURVEY . ,.,. ."6.~I'-:f. .".' .'.: ~ Rec. zool. Surv. India: 104 (Part 3-4) : 1-12,2005 MOLLUSCA FAUNA OF ITANAGAR WILDLIFE SANCTUARY, ARUNACHAL PRADESH RAMAKRISHNA, S. C. MITRA AND A. K. MUKHERJEE Zoological Survey of India, Kolkata INTRODUCTION The state of Arunachal Pradesh is an important constituent of the 'Seven Sisters' of north-east India, one of the designated rich biodiversity zones in the World. The relative isolation of the region together with high rainfall, lush-green forests and less vigorous temperature extremities, makes it an ideal habitat for the land and freshwater mollusca. Approximately one third of the total Indian fauna is represented here with above 70% endemicity "(Ramakrishna & Mitra, 2002). Apart from its proximity to the Himalaya, surroundings of Arunachal Pradesh (being bordered by Bhutan, China and Myanmar on three sides) add to its Zoogeographical significance. Though a consolidated report on the mollusca as a whole is still not available, the rich malacofauna of the state has been thoroughly explored and worked out from time to time. Over 100 new species and genera have been described. Important works are from Dey et al., 1985, Ghosh, 1913, Godwin-Austen, 1876, 1876a; 1914--1918; Gude, 1915; and Preston, 1915. The present report is based on material collected from Itanagar Wildlife Sanctuary area by the Itanagar Field Station of Zoological Survey of India during 1986-1996. The classification followed here is that of Vaught, 1989. SYSTEMATIC ACCOUNT Freshwater Mollusca Key to the

In this practice, fishing was facilitated in the pool zones of the hill stream by making the stream water muddy. Fishes gasping for air in muddy waters is then caught using cast nets operated from indigenous bamboo rafts (4.6-6.1 m long and 1.1-1.4 m wide). The study revealed that community fishing is a part of the cultural heritage of the Wancho tribe of Tirap district. The principle behind the fishing method was found to be deoxygenation of water caused by churning of bottom sediments.
