The ClFRl had a total budget allocation of Rs. 12.14 crores for the year 2007-2008,which was effectively utilised. The institute organized its research programmes keeping in view the guidelines of the high level Research Advisory Comm~ttee (RAC) and recommendations of last QRT, the road map indicated In our VISIOK 2025 document and the thrust areas identified for the XI Plan, including overail approach paper ofXI Plan ofthe Planning Cornmision, Govt. of India.

Salient achievenients under various programmeareas are highlighted as under: Rii'i8rinc. Fi'alicries The assessment of fishery resources in rivers is an important aspcct for formulating conservation plans. In this context, in this year investigations were carried out at Ii centres of the river Yamuna covering Baduala (Dehradun) to Aiiahabad (confluence pow with Ganga) stretch. The data generated revealed severe pollutional load with overall lou oxygen levels in Deihi-Etawah stretch. The situat~on was worst at Etawah (1.2 mgl' ), it improred gradually after each confluence point when bener quality water uas received from tributaries in the mait, river and the oxygen level increased to 7.2 mgl" at Ailahabad Due to changed ecology drop in fish catch and shift in speciescomposition was very much evident. Fish landings at Sadiapur and Daraganj landing centers were estimated at 115.96 and 44.02 t respectively. At Sadiapur the fishery was dominated by smaller species that contributed about 34.6%. followed by exotic species, specificaiiy common carp contributing about 34%. These species showed an increase of 79% over the preceding years catch which reflects a changing pattern of fish stock in the river system.
