Abstract
Unique biogeographical, climatic, and hydrological setting, the Himalayan region is regarded as the "Water Tower of Asia" or the world's third pole. Technology developed for the culture, breeding, and management of economically viable cold-water fish species has a favourable impact on the production and productivity, as well as the creation of jobs and the long-term management of aquatic resources and their aquatic fauna. In India, the DCRF is solely responsible for coldwater fisheries. Coldwater fisheries and their production are under threat by human activities and climate change.
