Abstract

In the hill streams of western Himalayas, the contribution of Mahseer was 26% in Alikhad, 34% in
Sheerkhad and 35 % in Gamberkhad, as against 6 % in River Sutlej. The availability of fry and fingerlings
of T. putitora ranged from 86 to 162/m2 in these hill streams, whereas no fry was available in the main
river. The gamachha cloth fishing, a local device in vogue was found to be much effective than cast net
fishing for spawn collection as well as for catching the hill stream fishes.
