 Fish and Fisheries of India by V. G. Jhingran

Price: Rs.1500, US $80

Description:  Pages-728, (Hard Bound), Reprint-1991, ISBN-81-7075-017-2. A book that justifiably may become a vade mecum for the tropical fish culturist contains a wealth of information [deserves a place] on the shelves of all fishery biologists and aquaculturists.” Bulletin of Marine Sciences:- The First Edition of this massive scientific treatise was published in 1975. The book was widely acclaimed immediately upon its publication and quickly established itself as an essential text in the field of Indian fishery and acquatic biology. Its Second Edition was brought out in 1982. The demand for the book remained so persistent that both the First Edition and the Second Edition have had to be reprinted several times. The present Third Edition of the book has been considerably revised, enlarged, re-designed and re-set. Many additions have been made in the data, apart from updating various statistics in the field of capture fisheries as well as export of marine products. In order to delineate cataclysmic changes witnessed recently in the fishery technology, many entirely new features have been added, e.g. management of the beel fisheries of north-eastern part of India, fish feeds and their formulation, fish genetics, integrated acquaculture with agriculture, livestock, horticulture and sericulture, fisheries education in India, management of EEZ and role of sattelite imagery in fishery development, etc. Recent advances in fish reproductive biology have also been portrayed. The book presents the latest information in the time-saving form of numerous tables, graphs and maps. It is also profusely illustrated with single and multi-coloured plates and line illustrations. Enriched with added information and encompassing within itself the entire gamut of capture and culture fisheries management, the present edition will be invaluable for a wide segment of readers such as planners, scientists and technologists working in the field of fisheries, students of aquatic biology, be it fisheries, limnology or oceanography; entrepreneurs of marine products; commercial fisherman, fish farmers, anglers and biologists. “In producing his book, V. G. Jhingran was faced with a prodigious task because of the vastness of the sub-continent, the varied nature of its acquatic environments and their fauna, the difficulties of worthwhile data from artisnal fishermen in remote areas, and the relative lack of earlier definitive work on the subject. Despite these difficulties he has produced a most informative account of the fish, the local fishing methods and the fisheries. Because more than 40% of the total fish catch in India comes from island and brackish water sources, a large part of the book is devoted to these subjects, but the author has also incorporated what amounts to an oceanographic and limnological text book which will appeal to a wide audience.” Because of the importance of aquaculture, the ecology and productivity of fish ponds and lakes is dealt with in great detail, so too are farming methods, structures of cultivated species, methods of raising or securing seed, stocking densities, relative economics, and so forth.” N. Z. Journal of Marine and Freshwater Research
