Uttarakhand is a biodiversity-dense region which has several fish species with the potential to be cultivated. Some of the major cultivable species include Indian major carps (Rohu, Catla, and Mrigal), common carp, trout. These fishes thrive in the state’s rivers, streams, and artifical reservoirs and are a substantial contributor to local aquaculture and fisheries. Sustainable cultivation of such plants can ensure their roles and contribution towards the economy.
