In all the developing countries, the vast natural resource have great potentials for the production of fish. Natural water resource are categorized on the basis of altitude, temperature and salinity. The different fish species have adopted as per water ecosystem. Out of identified about 22000 fish species, only 10% belongs to freshwater. Only 107 species have been found suitable as culturable. Hence, major chunk of fish are not cultured by man but used by him as food or other uses. It is therefore, the natural fisheries is very important for human being and proper management and legislation are needed to have the sustainable production. The text of the book is written in simple language so as understandable by scientists, extension workers, students and farmers. References and literature for further reading have been given in the end. Note: T&F does not sell or distribute the Hardback in India, Pakistan, Nepal, Bhutan, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka.

India has abundant water resources including rivers, canals, ponds, lakes, reservoirs, upland lakes, and floodplain wetlands covering over 5. [Author]8 percent of the country. [Author] These environments harbour a rich fish fauna of 1 035 species that constitutes the basis for the inland fisheries sector, which annually produces 2 144 452 tonnes of fish – if enhanced and culture-based fisheries are included – corresponding to 21 percent of total fish production. [Author] Rivers like the Ganga, Brahmaputra, and Barak, alongside floodplain wetlands, play crucial roles, especially in the east and northeast. [Author] Lakes are abundant in upland areas. [Author] Reservoirs cover over 1 percent of India's land and hold untapped potential for fisheries development. [Author] Traditionally, fishing in inland water bodies has been a small-scale or subsistence activity. [Author] Fishing practices, crafts and gear used in inland fisheries are still traditional. [Author] Cooperative societies are present in reservoirs and wetlands giving fishers better bargaining power with traders and better prices for the fish. [Author] Inland fisheries are imperative for poverty alleviation, food security, gender empowerment, cultural services, ecosystem function, and biodiversity, and are important for achieving the Sustainable Development Goals. [Author] Important threats to inland fisheries include water scarcity, habitat loss, pollution, climate change and invasive species. [Author] However, several major river conservation programmes have been initiated. [Author] The collection of inland fishery catch statistics remains weak and production appears to be significantly under-reported in many states. [Author] A simplified method for defining water bodies and estimating catch is proposed and all States have been advised to follow the same definition for water bodies. [Author]

India has made phenomenal progress in inland fisheries sector. Major inland fisheries resources of country comprise 1) capture fisheries of rivers, lakes and estuaries 2) culture fisheries of the ponds and tanks and 3) capture-cum-culture fisheries of reservoirs and oxbow lakes. According to various reports, 80-85 per cent of our total inland fish production comes from capture fisheries resources. Development of inland fisheries as a means to increase the availability of proteinous food for the masses and to create employment opportunities for a wide section of our society has long been recognized. The last fifty years have witnessed concerted efforts by the central and state governments to increase productivity from inland water bodies, mainly through the development of a number of scientific management norms for different aquatic biotopes. The indigenous technologies developed at various Research and Development organizations have played a vital role in ushering in the fish boom in the country. The book entitled "Inland Fisheries" has been written with the intention to meet the needs of fisheries graduate as well as post-graduate students. This book is also a very important document for the fisheries scientists and professionals engaged in inland fisheries research. The book is divided in thirty chapters. The language of the book is simple and lucid. The subject matter has been explained with the help of finely drawn, simple and well labelled diagrams. Wherever necessary, tables have been given for clear understanding of the subject.
