Ecology and Migratory patterns of the Golden Mahseer, Top Putitora (Hamilton,1822), in Western Himalayas using Radio Telemetry Techniques

Abstract

This work is one of the most important and iconic freshwater fish species, golden mahseer Tor putitora (Hamilton, 1822), that provides crucial insights into the assemblage structure, food and space resource of the species, habitat ecology, life-history characteristics and movement ecology of the species. This study is the detailed study of any freshwater fish species in which movement patterns in the streams have been studied using radio telemetry techniques in the Himalayan streams.
