Arunachal Clan Initiates Conservation of Endangered Ray-Finned Fish to Support Tradition
A clan in Arunachal Pradesh's East Kameng district has initiated a conservation effort for the endangered Himalayan ray-finned fish, Schizothorax pelzami, to protect it from the predatory mahseer and sustain traditional community fishing. On June 28, nine Sangno clan members relocated 52 fingerlings from Lapabung stream to a mahseer-inaccessible stretch of Richaso stream. The village headman proposed a five-year fishing ban in Richaso to allow population recovery, with future plans for eco-angling and stream-trail trekking.
