Question

The pisciculture came from which country in India?

• A. Monogolia
• B. Japan
• C. Indonesia
• D. China

Hint:

Pond carp culture began in China.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Step 1: Understand the question.
Pisciculture means fish farming. The question asks from which country the practice reached India.

Step 2: Option 1, Mongolia.
Mongolia is a landlocked country of herding people. It has no old tradition of pond fish culture, so this is wrong.

Step 3: Option 2, Japan.
Japan is known for sea fishing and for ornamental koi, but fish culture did not travel from Japan to India as a farming practice. This is wrong.

Step 4: Option 3, Indonesia.
Indonesia has brackish-water pond culture, but it is not named as the source of pisciculture in India. This is wrong.

Step 5: Option 4, China.
China has the oldest record of fish culture in the world, with carp raised in ponds for thousands of years. Common carp and grass carp came to India from China. This is correct.

Final Answer:
Pisciculture in India is traced to China, so the answer is option 4. \[ \boxed{\text{China (Option 4)}} \]
