Bengaluru's aquatic ecosystems have witnessed a significant rise in fish yield over the past few years. The increase in fish yield in Bengaluru's lakes can be interpreted as a positive indication of environmental improvement. The restoration efforts and proactive measures undertaken by the Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) and other stakeholders have led to enhanced water quality and ecosystem conditions. But while these fish populations are recovering from their past polluted and degraded states, experts and environmentalists have begun to voice their concerns regarding the potential consequences of unchecked growth.
