World’s first fishing cat survey which took place at the Chilika Lake in Odisha has provided the world’s first population estimation of the fishing cat. The world’s first survey which was conducted outside the protected area by the Chilika Development Authority in collaboration with The Fishing Cat Project (TFCP) has found that the lake has 176 fishing cats.
