The importance of selection of species for culture according to the ecological niches and fish food organisms is highlighted with respect to the Fox sagar,an irrigation tank.The tank was infested withsubmerged vegetation as well as minnows and weed fishes which rendered the tank unsuitable for the culture of Indian major carps.Therefore ,the tank was stocked with 8000fingerlings of Channa marulius and C.stiatus during 1981 by the local fishermen co-operative society.Only partial harvest was possible during 1982 because of high water level .The final harvest was done by the members of the society using conventional traps dragnets and castnet in april-may 1983
