Himachal Pradesh Resumes Fishing Season with Increased Harvest After Ban
Fishing operations resumed in Himachal Pradesh's reservoirs on August 16 after a two-month closed season to protect fish breeding. On the first day, 46.37 metric tonnes of fish were harvested, marking an increase from last year. The Pong Reservoir, covering about 15,662 hectares, supports around 3,400 fishermen and hosts species like Catla, Rohu, and Mahseer. The annual ban from mid-June to mid-August helps conserve fish stocks and sustain livelihoods for over 13,000 fishermen across the state.
