Question

give two examples of exotic breed of fishery culture

Answer 1

India has abundant water resources in which several species of indigenous variety of fishes survives successfully. Until now the fish culture in India was mainly dependent upon the culture of some of the most common Indian species like Labeo, Catla and Mrigal.But it has been found in recent years that the introduction of the foreign breeds of fishes to Indian fresh water ponds and reservoirs and their culture in isolated condition or in suitable combination with the Indian counter-parts yields a higher production. In this view a number of fish species have been imported from foreign countries and introduced into Indian fresh water. Since, these fish are not the natives of this country, are called as exotic fishes.

The exotic fishes have been brought to India for different purposes. On the basis of their utility, the exotic fishes have been classified into three different categories. These are –

(1) Food fishes

(2) Game or Sports fishes

(3) Larvicidal fishes.
