Fishes of Orissa - Local fish names English - Odia ( Oriya ) in Odisha

Fish Names in Oriya/ Odia( Local fish names of fishes in Orissa / Odisha )

Did you know Mahanadi Mahseer (Tor mosal Mahanadicus) is the state fish of Odisha. Local residents of Huma and Maneswar near Sambalpur on the banks of the Mahanadi refer to the mahasheer as kado. The village, otherwise popular for its Humma temple is a renowned historical monument, is situated on the bank of the river Mahanadi, about 40 km from Sambalpur city has become a destination for environmentalist for its conservation of Mahashir : a fish typical to the Mahanadi that flows by the temple. This place is reverence of kado or mahaseer fish as an incarnation of Lord Vishnu in his Matsya avatar. In an ancient folk tale, a fisherman’s wife was turned into stone while cutting a kado. A monument on an island opposite the Huma temple has statues of the fisherman and his wife. “Mahasheer” in Odia means big (maha) head (sheer).With the help of its temple committee, therefore, the villagers have made it mandatory for fishermen to fish all other species, but not the Kado. The most important role played in conservation is that of the fisher folk in the village who do not fish Mahashir, despite its commercial importance. “Even if a Kado gets caught in the net, we release it back to the river. Catching or hurting these fish is a sin,” said a fisherman.

The best season for sighting kado fish is between the winters around November, after Kartik Poornima and till the beginning of the monsoon in June. This is the time when the water is clear and quiet. This is a trout species confined to rocky upstream portions of the river.
