Anglers await return of Kashmir’s ‘tiger fish’
A giant freshwater carp nicknamed the "tiger fish" for its great fighting abilities is set to return to the fast-flowing rivers of Indian Kashmir, officials say. Scientists have built a hatchery for breeding the mahseer and hope to restock the waters of Kashmir, known as an "angler’s paradise", although few foreign fishermen venture here now due to a deadly Islamic insurgency.
