Baitfish Industry in Nepa By: Joe Gasper

This guide explores essential baitfish species found in Nepal's fishing industry, focusing on three pivotal types: the Golden Shiner (Notemigonus crysoleucas), the Fathead Minnow (Pimephales promelas), and the Rusty Crayfish (Orconectes rusticus). The Golden Shiner reaches sexual maturity in one year and may live up to eight years, while the Fathead Minnow has a shorter lifespan of typically two to three years. Rusty Crayfish are identified by their unique morphological features. This resource also covers best practices for harvesting and storing baitfish in ponds.
