Exploring Bioresource Utilization in Traditional Fishing Methods of Arunachal Pradesh

Author(s) Ms. Himadri Dutta, Prof. Dr. Tomo Riba
Country India
Abstract Arunachal Pradesh, situated in the northeastern region of India, harbours rich biodiversity and cultural diversity. Traditional fishing practices have long been integral to the livelihoods and cultural heritage of indigenous communities inhabiting the region. This study investigates the utilization of bioresources within the context of traditional fishing methods practiced in Lower Siang, Lepa Rada, West Siang and Shi Yomi district of Arunachal Pradesh. Through a combination of ethnographic fieldwork, ecological surveys and community engagement, the study aims to document and analyse the diverse array of bioresources targeted, the traditional fishing techniques employed and the socio-cultural significance of these practices. Primary data has been collected from the villagers through a combination of field surveys and interviews with local fishermen. Key findings reveal a diverse array of traditional fishing techniques deeply rooted in the cultural heritage of the study area. These methods range from bamboo traps and hand nets to angling and basket weirs, each tailored to the unique environmental characteristics of the region. Utilization of local bioresources, including bamboo and natural plant fibers, in the construction of fishing gear, shows the sustainable practices embedded within traditional knowledge systems. The application of indigenous fishing gears and methods by the different tribal groups in the study area highlights the intimate connection between culture, tradition and sustainable resource management. The findings of this research offer valuable insights into the dynamics of bioresource utilization in traditional fishing methods in the study area.
