While the Mohenjodaro specimens vary between the lengths of 2-9" and 1-04", the Chanhudaro hooks vary between the lengths of 1-87" and 0-43". The difference in the relative sizes of the hooks indicate that fishing was probably confined to tanks and small streams at Chanhudaro whereas at Mohenjodaro all fishing was done in the Indus. - [Previous: v1.c28.15](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.bag-1997.v1.c28.15) - [Next: v1.c28.17](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.bag-1997.v1.c28.17) - [Up: v1.c28](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.bag-1997.v1.c28) ## Cites (2) - [Mohenjo-daro](https://indike.org/pramana/inp.site.mohenjo-daro) - [Chanhu-daro](https://indike.org/pramana/inp.site.chanhu-daro) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.bag-1997.v1.c28.16](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.bag-1997.v1.c28.16) · Pramāṇa
