Description
Summary:Not Available An indigenous fishing technique practised in River Brahmaputra and two of its north bank tributaries namely Bhelengi and Chaulkhowa in Barpeta district of Lower Brahmaputra valley, Assam is described here. This particular fishing method involves catching of a predatory freshwater fish species Wallago attu (Bloch & Schneider, 1801) using Salmophasia bacaila (Hamilton, 1822), a small indigenous fish and Lamellidens marginalis (Lamarck, 1819), a freshwater bivalve as baits. Olfactory stimulation owing to the strong flavour and taste of the bait used is found to be the main reason of attracting highly predatory fishes like Wallago attu Not Available
