Extraction and Utilization of Freshwater Molluscs by Mishing and Bodo Tribes and Its Impact on Wetland Biodiversity of Dhemaji District, Assam
Journal Title: International Journal of Engineering and Science Invention - Year 2017, Vol 6, Issue 11
Abstract
Mishing and Bodos are two major plain tribes of Dhemaji district of Assam. The socio-cultural practices of these two tribes are closely associated with animal species. Molluscs are the largest groups of animal. 19 species of freshwater molluscan species were extracted from beels of the region. Many of molluscan species are edible to Mishing and Bodo people of the region. Some of the molluscan species viz. Bellamya bengalensis, Pila globosa and Lamellidens marginalis have been used for ethno-medicinal purposes. Shells of some molluscs are used for making buttons and in the manufacture of poultry food. The Lamellidens and Parreysia species are edible to aboriginal people and particularly they have been used as medicine for the cure of some ailment such as rheumatism, cardiac diseases, controlling blood pressure, asthma etc.
