Nagqu is criss-crossed with rivers and dotted with lakes. The area
is therefore very rich in fish resources. The fish in northern Tibet
are known as "highland carp" and are very tasty. Fish are
raised in an area of more than 3.333 million hectares of water, but
in 1998 only one million kilograms were caught because of climatic
restrictions, and processing and transport problems.
Forestry
Dense forests grow deep in landlocked mountains in Biru, Jiali and
Song counties in east Nagqu. They cover a total area of 220,000
hectares, with timber reserves reaching 10 million cubic meters.
Major tree species include fir, dragon spruce, cypress, pine, broad-leaf
and alpine oak trees. These resources have yet to be used.
