In the northern part of Tripura, various aspects of ethno-fishery have been documented. Fruit peels of Citrus macroptera Montrouz. var. annamensis Tanaka are often used as nutraceuticals for indigenous fishery along with various botanicals, viz. leafy vegetables, fronds of ferns, fruits and seeds (Figure 1). During documentation of ethno-fishery practices, some garland-like structures were found floating on the aquatic bodies (Figure 2). This was a practice against rot diseases of fishes. The observation and documentation persisted for 0–60 days after the botanicals were applied as garland-like structures. Two different seasons were chosen when maximum disease outbreak was reported.

Abstract


In the northern part of Tripura, various aspects of ethno-fishery have been documented. Fruit peels of Citrus macroptera Montrouz. var. annamensis Tanaka are often used as nutraceuticals for indigenous fishery along with various botanicals, viz. leafy vegetables, fronds of ferns, fruits and seeds (Figure 1). During documentation of ethno-fishery practices, some garland-like structures were found floating on the aquatic bodies (Figure 2). This was a practice against rot diseases of fishes. The observation and documentation persisted for 0–60 days after the botanicals were applied as garland-like structures. Two different seasons were chosen when maximum disease outbreak was reported.
