● Reservoir and Wetland Fisheries Division
The Reservoir Division is based at Barrackpore. The investigations being carried out at the Division are aimed at developing management norms for optimizing fish yield from large, medium and small reservoirs of the country.
● Ongoing Projects
The following research projects are being undertaken under the Reservoir and Wetland Fisheries Division.
