Question

Set 3 to
a) state the importance of exotic fishes in Indian fishery​

Answer 1

Answer:

A number of fish species have been imported from foreign countries and introduced into Indian freshwater for culture. Since these fishes are not the natives of this country, they are called exotic fishes. 

The exotic carps, due to their fast growth rate (high food conversion ratio), have become good candidates for the composite fish culture practice. They contribute handsomely to the yield and can solve the scarcity of protein in India. Grass carp has been reported to have attained a weight of 5 kg in a year.
