The present book entitled "Aquaculture in Reservoirs" deals with various fishery enhancement tools that can be used to improve the productivity and production of Indian reservoirs. Any fishery enhancement activity in a reservoir should be based on the morpho-edaphic factors of the reservoir. Keeping this requirement in view the broad coverage on deployment of cage and pen culture methodologies to enhance fish production and use of advanced aquaculture practices were covered. Limnological profile of the major reservoirs and strategies to improve the fish production in these reservoirs were discussed in vivid . The status and potential for applying fisheries management at small medium and large reservoirs are reviewed with reference to the revised syllabus based on the fifth Deans Committee and ICAR policies as well as the socioeconomic setting and possible alternatives for management systems. This book will be highly useful for students of fisheries university and researchers pursuing careers in fisheries and allied courses.
