Abstract
Reservoirs are man-made ecosystems constructed for irrigation or power generation as the primary purpose. India is blessed with such vast water resources that can be effectively utilized for fish production, which in turn will contribute to nutritional and livelihood security. This can be achieved through various fisheries enhancement practices such as culture based fisheries, stock enhancement, species enhancement, habitat enhancement and enclosure culture in reservoirs to attain the fish production potential and socio-economic security of the downtrodden section of society. Reservoir fisheries are an important area for the growth of Indian fisheries due to the abundant resources and untapped fish production potential.
