Gandhisagar reservoir of Madhya Pradesh was constructed on the river
Chambal. Extensive survey, would, however be essential to map the fish diversity of
Gandhisagar reservoir as the data is scanty on this aspect. The present study was
conducted during April 2009 to December 2011 selecting three stations: viz. Kanwala
Ghandhisagar and Rampura. Fish samples were collected through repeated surveys of the
landing sites, besides conducting experimental nettings and market surveys. During the
present study a total of 72 species of fishes belonging to 9 orders, 20 families and
43genera have been recorded from Gandhisagar reservoir. The indepth survey and
analysis revealed that Order Cypriformes (59.72%) was dominant by 43 species which
was followed by Siluriformes (18.05%) with 13 species; Order Perciformes (12.5%) was
represented by 9 species and Order Cyprinodontiformes (2.7%) was represented by 2
species. Order Beloniformes, Clupeiformes, Mugiliformes ,Osteoglossiformes and
Synbranchiformes were also represented by each of one species (1.3%). The species
belongs to Cypriniformes such as Lepidocephalichthys guntea, Puntius amphibius,
Puntius conchonius, Puntius chola, Puntius gelius, Puntius sophore, Puntius ticto, Danio
devario, Danio aequipinatus and Rasbora daniconius are potential ornamental species
that can be exploited for commercial purpose. The status of fish species in the reservoir
suggests that 66.6% with 48 species are Least Concern (LC), 23.6% with 17 species are
Not Evaluated (NE), 5.5% with 4 species are Near Threatened (NT) where as 1.38% with
one fish species are represented as Vulnerable (Vu), Data Deficient (DD) and
Endangered (En) in each categories
