Abstract:
Since remote ages, like other parts of North East region of India, the indigenous people of Gohpur sub-division of Assam produces a considerable number of traditional tools in quantities some of which are used in traditional system of fishing. The paper deals about seventeen types of traditional fishing gears based on field surveys carried out during last three years. Habitat shrinkage, pollution, over exploitation, the growing demand of rearing exotic fishes as well as modern fishing method lead to over exploitation of aquatic biodiversity of the region. The concept of sustainable development using indigenous technology in fisheries brought traditional system of fishing again to the forefront. Present study reveals that the new generation is hardly interested in such knowledge due to lack of awareness. The author feels that the knowledge especially those of indigenous system of fishing is still in use in several surveyed localities which are considered as eco-friendly and better option for sustainable livelihood. Information is available on traditional fishing gears from different parts of north east region but effort should be created for public interest. The paper suggests some urgent need of awareness for much ignored traditional fishing for conservation of regional biodiversity.
