| Abstract: | Studies on fish attractant especially in fresh
water fish are very scanty. Tribal people, who practice fish attractant against
the escapement of fish during inundation of ponds during flood, mainly inhabit
the Karbi-Anglong district of Assam. This fish attractant is made from locally
available ingredients such as rice bran, oil cake, Jubulee, etc. The practice
is quite popular among the fishers in Karbi-Anglong. On verification of the
efficacy of this indigenous method, it was observed that as many as 70% of
fishes remain in the pond after flood. |
