We will know in Boojhe Ki Nahi… First of all, know which fish came to Bihar after flowing from Nepal. On the third day of the disaster in Nepal i.e. on the morning of 29th August, fishermen in Gopalganj caught a huge quantity of fish from the Gandak river. There is news of several quintals of fish being caught from Mangalpur Ghat in Gopalganj and sending them to the markets of West Bengal. The Directorate of Fisheries of Bihar Government has appealed to the people not to eat the fish found in flood water. The directorate has said, ‘Be careful while buying and selling fish caught directly from flood waters. Do not eat fish without checking. Know one by one, the story of the fishes that came to Bihar… 1. Goonch Catfish: Goonch Catfish i.e. Goita, which is also known as ‘man-eating catfish’, eats humans by dragging them into the river. It is a very scary fish with sharp jaws and big eyes. It is not like common fish, because its body is very long and its head is wide and flat, on which there are three pairs of whiskers. He is called – ‘River Devil’. In different reports, he is also called River Monster. According to ‘The Himalayan Outback’ magazine, between 1988 and 2007, three separate incidents occurred along the Kali River in Nepal. The bodies of none of them were found later. All three incidents took place near the Kali River in Nepal and adjacent parts of India. After this incident, people claimed that some huge creature had dragged the man. After these claims the eyes of the whole world turned towards this place. Not banned in India 2. Thai Mangur: Banned in India, eating it can cause cancer. Thai Mangur fish comes in the catfish group. This is a group of different types of ray-finned fishes. They get their name from their distinctive barbels (whiskers), which resemble a cat’s whiskers. Thai Mangur is scientifically known as ‘Clarias gariepinus’. It is a 3-5 feet long air-breathing fish, which can walk on dry land due to its special respiratory system (ARS). Can survive even in mud. It grows rapidly. If it is reared, production can increase up to three times. Therefore, it is also called a fish that gives more profits in less time. According to the report, other species of fish grow by 300 grams in six months, while Thai Mangur grows by about one kilo in the same time. NGT imposed ban in 2000. The National Green Tribunal (NGT) had banned the cultivation, eating and selling of ‘Thai Mangur’ in India in 2000. This was done because this carnivorous fish posed a threat to other fish living in the water. 3. Vallago Catfish i.e. Freshwater Shark Vallago Catfish, known as Barali, Boal, Pathan or Helicopter Catfish. It is a large and aggressive freshwater predatory fish. It belongs to the ‘Siluridae’ family. It lives in the major rivers of South Asia (which includes Nepal).
