Dear Mohan,
I get you better now.
Problem is that in the main rivers Big fish get caught in unrestricted net/angling/bombing/dazing.
Main Brahmaputra Oil /Fecal polluted badly> so no Oxygen>no plankton>no small fish>no big fish
Connections from main river to tributaries are so badly silted/ choked that at entry/exit fish is easily netted.
The water bodies called BEELS( Swamp/Lowland/Horseshoe lake) are leased to be totally scoopedout even at spawn time.Worldwide in spawning time,fishing is totally banned for 3 months-nobody enforces here.
That is Assam's fish Crisis.
Can be totally recouped in 5 years of ruthless Control.
Rivers(all-big and small)+all swamp/beel/lake amount to ~15% the land mass area.
Assam theoretical landmass is~ 7 000 000 Hectares. Hence Waters=almost 1 million Ha!
A planned fed/cared tropical waterbody can yield 5Ton fish/Hectare/yr. So imagine 5 Million Tons.
Even if each person eats 0.1 Kilo Fishx100 times a year-and there are 25 Million,we in Assam need only 0.25 million Ton a year. The rest-you figure out.
Ask whatever- whenever. Shall try!
