Abstract: The present investigation was carried out to assess the fish productivity of the Tiru reservoir and its potential towards fish culture. The assessment was based on the study of fish diversity from August 2017 to July 2018. All together 15 species of fishes has been reported from the Tiru reservoir.
Labeo rohita contributed highest (19%) in the total fish catch followed by
Cirrhinus mrigala (18%),
Catla catla (15%),
Cyprinus carpio (13%) and
Wallago attu (9%), etc. According to the current study, Indian Major Carps made up more than half of the entire catch that was reported in the reservoir. The Tiru reservoir yielded the productivity of 125 kg/ha/year. The few factors that contribute to the improved productivity from Tiru reservoir include frequent fish stocking, improved management practices, and significant nitrogen and phosphorus enrichment from nearby Soybean fields.
