“…According to Jhingran (1972) and Jhingran and Verma (1973), the species was abundant during seventies in Ganga river system. Fish composition structure, length-weight relationships of selected species and diversity of planktivorous fish of Panchet Reservoir was reported by Sandhya et al (2017;. Most of the studies have been conducted in rivers and wetlands on abundance but there is no previous report on LWRs of this species from an Indian reservoir (Froese and Pauly, 2015).…”

This study provides length-weight relationship and condition factor (K) of Indian river shad Gudusia chapra (Hamilton, 1822) collected from Panchet Reservoir, Jharkhand, India during October 2014 to September 2015 using gillnets and drag nets. About 342 specimens (153 male and 189 female) of length range 4.7 to 15.1cm were collected. Length-weight relationship for male and female were calculated separately. The difference between the sexes was insignificant (independent t-test, p>0.05). The pooled length-weight regression equation was estimated as log W=-1.863+2.855 log L (r=0.983) which indicated negative allometric growth. The value of condition factor (Kn value) was observed to be nearer to or greater than one in both sexes, indicative of the general wellbeing of the fish in the Panchet Reservoir. This is the first report on length-weight relationship parameters of G. chapra from an Indian reservoir.

“…However, the studies on the impact assessment of fingerling stocking is inadequate although it occupies a major share in total large reservoir area of India. Such information is almost nil for large Indian reservoirs though a few researchers have reported fish assemblage pattern, diversity, and some biological aspects of fishes from large reservoirs (Kumari et al, 2018Lianthuamluaia et al, 2019;Sandhya et al, 2017Sandhya et al, , 2019.…”

Tropical reservoir ecosystems cover more than 3.51 million ha in India which are the major sources of fish production from inland open waters and supports rich diversity of fish. The present study quantifies fisheries enhancement and evaluates the impact of stocking of Indian major carp fingerlings in six large reservoir ecosystems of India. Analysis of time series data revealed a significant increase (p < 0.05) in fish yield from 12.3 kg ha −1 year −1 in 2004-2005 to 52.4 kg ha −1 year −1 in 2016-2017 due to stocking. The average fish yield of these six reservoirs was estimated to be higher than the national average of 33 kg ha −1 year −1 recorded for large Indian reservoirs. Fingerling stocking had a significant positive impact on fish yield (r = 0.238, p = 0.035). The reservoir water storage level was positively correlated (r = 0.621, p < 0.05) to fish production. The study also shows that the reservoir habitat support 99 finfish species in the central Indian reservoirs of which two species belong to endangered category warranting conservation efforts. This study is the first of its kind on assessing the impact of stocking in large number of tropical reservoirs including the largest reservoir in the country revealing positive effect on fish yield. The fish yield of 85.8 kg ha −1 year −1 obtained in Gandhisagar reservoir (72,300 ha), India revealed that fisheries enhancement is effective and remunerative. The study also highlights the global status of stocking impact in large reservoirs and deliberates issues and suggests management strategies for sustainable fisheries enhancement in large tropical reservoirs.

“…Present study describes the length-weight relationships of 18 fish species from a tropical large reservoir, Panchet in India comprising commercially important species as well as some of the small indigenous fishes. Only a few fish faunal studies have been reported from this reservoir; mostly limited to catch, fish diversity and LWRs of very few species (Sarkar and Banerjee, 2010;Sandhya et al, 2016Sandhya et al, , 2017Sandhya et al, , 2019Suman et al, 2018). Information on the lengthweight relationship of Puntius terio, Pethia conchonius, Sperata seenghala, Ailia coila and Trichogaster chuna from Indian reservoirs is lacking.…”

The present study describes the length-weight relationships (LWRs) of 18 fish species from a large tropical reservoir, Panchet, in the Damodar River basin, one of the main tributary of the largest river Ganga in India. A total of 2419 individuals represented by 18 species belonging to 9 families were sampled between November 2014 and June 2016. The b values ranged from 2.469 for Trichogaster chuna to 3.428 for Ailia coila. All the regressions were highly significant (p<0.001). The results revealed positive allometric growth for seven species (b>3, p<0.05), negative allometric growth for seven species (b<3, p<0.05) and isometric growth for four species (b=3, p>0.05). This study represents the first reference on the length-weight relationship of Trichogaster chuna from a reservoir ecosystem. This is the first report on LWRs of five fish species viz., Puntius terio, Pethia conchonius, Sperata seenghala, Ailia coila and Trichogaster chuna from an Indian reservoir. This study provides basic data for future stock assessment studies and management programmes from Panchet Reservoir as well as for complementing the comparisons of LWRs from other ecosystems.
