| Abstract: | Most of the
inhabitants of the Hills Zone of Assam survive on their traditional knowledge
base. These people are bound by traditions and are relatively untouched by
modem scientific knowledge on aquaculture and allied sector. An attempt has
been made in present study to document Indigenous Technical Knowledge (ITK)
related to aquaculture in the Hills Zone of Assam. Data was collected after
interviewing 80 fishers in one of such areas with the help of an interview
schedule. In Pond construction/maintenance, seed transport and fish health
management, nine ITKs were documented in this study. Under pond construction
and maintenance, ITKs on traditional spillway, and protection of pond dyke were
documcnted and under fish health management ITKs on control of dissolved oxygen
deficiency, turbidity control, control of Argulus, leach control and control of
Epizootic Ulceratic Disease Syndrome were documented. |
