Abstract

India possesses over 3.15 million ha area of reservoirs. In reservoirs, the available culture-based fisheries technologies offer
possibilities for achieving fish yields of 100-200 kg ha-1 against the present national average of about 50 kg ha-1. With a view
to enhance fish production from the reservoirs through scientific management techniques, an investigation was carried out in
Dhaura Reservoir of Terai region of Uttaranchal. The reservoir is alkanotropic in nature. The population of planktonic
organisms was moderate. Macro-zoobenthos population was of medium order. Fish production potential was estimated at 290
kg ha-1yr-1. The reservoir was stocked @413 numbers ha-1. The fish production during the study period was 106.6 kg ha-1
against pre-adoption production of 32 kg ha-1.
