Exploited fisheries resources of the Pampa River, Kerala, India
River Pampa is one of the longest river systems of Kerala. Out of the 60 species of fishes reported from the river, 26 species, belonging to 5 orders and 21 genera contributed to the exploited fishery. The landings were represented by one endangered (Gonoproktopterus curumca), two each vulnerable (H...
