    INDUCED BREEDING, FRY REARING AND EARLY GROWTH OF DECCAN MAHSEER, TOR KHVDREE (SYKES)
    (Karnataka Veterinary Animal And Fisheries Sciences University, Bidar, 2006) KANGKU OLIVER N. SANGMA., B.F.Sc.
    India is blessed with some of the worldâ s best game fishes like mahseer. In the past, these game fishes once attracted the attention of the best anglers and naturalists from several parts of the world. It is known as tiger in waters, because of the fight it musters to wriggle out of the hook. Fish of the genus Tor, commonly referred to as masheer, are important to most nations in the Asian region for biodiversity reasons and are also sought after as high-valued food and game fish (Ng, 2004). This mahseer also possess almost all the major qualities to occupy an important place in commercial fisheries, too. Keshavanath (2000) reported that mahseers are considered coldwater fishes, having a temperature range of 6-35'â C, some species such as T. khiidree (the Deccan mahseer) can thrive and grow well in coastal region at temperature ranging between 25 and 32°C (Basavaraja et al., 2006). Work conducted on feed formulation, nutrient requirement and preservation of spermatozoa of T. khiidree at College of Fisheries, Mangalore has shown that this species could be successfully grown even at 28- 32°C (Gogoi and Keshavanath, 1990; Bazaz and Keshavanath, 1993; Basavaraja et al., 2002).
