a traditional fish product developed by the Mising community of
Assam
and the traditional knowledge associated with it are discussed. Flame dried and
smoked small economic fish species (Puntius spp., Amblypharyngodon
sp., Lepidocephalus sp., Channa spp., Trichogaster
(Colisa) spp., Danio spp., Mastacembelus spp., Mystus
spp., Rasbora spp., etc.) and petioles of arum (Alocasia
macrorrhiza) are ground together, packed in bamboo container and fermented
for about 30 days to prepare the product. The complete process involves
11 distinct steps and the end product is preserved in the fermenting bamboo
container itself by keeping it suspended over a fire place. It is consumed
after steam cooking or after preparing some curry along with vegetables. Protein
rich fish is balanced with carbohydrate content in the product, probably
increasing the dietary fibre content as well, when it is supplemented with arum
petioles. In addition, the product is the outcome of a wonderful traditional
technology which combines three well established food processing techniques
–drying, smoking and fermentation and also a compatible means of preserving
fish for scares-fish seasons as a partial solution to protein malnutrition.

Not AvailableRiver Brahmaputra is a trans-boundary major river flowing through the northeastern state of Assam, India and is the lifeline of its natural fisheries. In the present article, we discuss eco-hydrobiology (including sediment quality and energy flow) of River Brahmaputra and its important tributaries in the state of Assam, India based on extensive synoptic studies conducted from April 1996 to March 1998, duly collated with past and present studies. Salient aspects of fisheries of the river system in the state (ichthyofauna, biogeography, conservation status, migratory and exotic fish species, trends in fish yield and species composition, fishing crafts and gear) are discussed in light of past and present studies conducted by the Indian Council of Agricultural Research-Central Indian Fisheries Research Institute and others. Fisheries of floodplain wetlands (beels) located in the Brahmaputra valley in the state and their interaction with the river system are also discussedNot Availabl
