Abstract

The Chilka lake is the largest brackishwater lagoon in India, occupying
an»area of about 1040 sq. km. The lake is an important source of fish supply
in the region. The average fish landings during 1957-61 was about 3511 tonnes
of which perches accounted for about 231 tonnes. Of the many species of perches
recorded from the lake, Lates calcarifer (Bloch) known locally as bhekti is
commercially the most important, constituting 53.5 percent of the perch landings.
