Habitat and Ecology [top]
Habitat and Ecology: Catla is non-predatory and its feeding is restricted to the surface and mid-waters. These features render the simultaneous introduction of Catla with bottom and column feeding cultivable fishes like Rohu, Mrigal, etc advantageous. Natarajan et al. (1978) have observed strong indications of existence of three infra-specific populations from Rihand reservoir (Uttar Pradesh) each of which showing specific roles corresponding to niches in the ecosystem. These ecological populations are also distinguished by distinct morpho-biological features.
Systems: Freshwater
Use and Trade [top]
Use and Trade: Catla Catla is one of the renowned and the fastest growing of the Indian major carps. It is considered a delicacy.
