    From the Preface: "The book "Fish and Fisheries of India" by the first author turned out to be a very general treatise. Scores of topics mentioned therein needed a more elaborate treatment. The subject of the Coldwater Fisheries of India is only cursorily dealt with in that book. In the present one, the authors have attempted to give a fuller presentation of the state of development of the coldwater fisheries of India and put forth their ideas as to how both the capture and culture fisheries of the uplands can be developed."
