Fishing at Jim Corbett National Park
Fishes in Jim Corbett National Park
Jim Corbett National Park's rivers are home to many species of freshwater fish. The Ramganga, Palain, Sonanadi, Kosi and Mandal rivers, provide vital habitat and breeding grounds for them because of moderate temperature, low gradient, presence of deep pools, boulders and gravel on stream beds and negligible pollution. Fish form a fundamental link in the food chain for many key species like gharial, otters, fish-eagles, kingfishers, ospreys, storks, fish-owls, egrets, darters and pelicans.
The most celebrated of the fishe found in and around jim corbett national park is Golden Mahseer (Tor putitora), a large freshwater river fish belonging to the carp family. It has a magnificent appearance – sap green body with bright orange scales. Mahseer is considered to be one of most prized fish for anglers all over the world.
Clean water, which is increasingly becoming rarer, is prime habitat requirement for mahseer. Its population has declined due to loss of habitat. Loss of breeding grounds also poses a threat because mahseer require shallow, clear, well-oxygenated water for spawning, which again is hard to find these days. Decline of mahseer is also due to construction of dams on their migratory routes, obstructing access to favoured spawning areas upstream. The Ramganga is one of best-preserved rivers for mahseer in India. Other important fish species found in Jim Corbett National Park are Goonch (Bagarius bagarius), Indian trout (Barilius bola) and Rohu (Labeo rohita). Sustainable angling, as opposed to intensive fishing, benefits conservation fishes like mahseer.
