The high altitude Sarkoot pond located at Kishtwar (33o.0’ – 34o.0’N latitude and 75o.0’ – 76o.45’ E longitude) at an altitude of 5300 ft. and having a maximum depth of 12 feet with its present expanse of 37.33 kanals is presently being put to the illogical and undesired use. The pond being rich source of zooplanktons can hold a variety of fishes but due to its unfavourable physico-chemical conditions remains unexploited scientifically.
