Comments: | Recorded from the ponds and lakes of Nilgiris (Ref. 92228). An initial accidental introduction of the species with grass carp fry was contained at the Central Inland Fisheries Research Institute which later disappeared. Large numbers of this species have later appeared in 1987 through private trade with Bangladesh. Ref: Shetty, H.P.C., M.C. Nandeesha and A.G. Jhingran, 1989 |
