Description Not Available
The diversity of finfish in river Narmada and its
tributaries in central and western India has been reviewed.
We could compile a total of 196 species from both freshwater
and brackish water habitats, under 14 orders, 51
families, and 126 genera. The order Cypriniformes represented
the highest diversity with 78 species (i.e., 39.8%)
followed by Perciformes (47 species), Siluriformes (32
species), Clupeiformes (15 species), etc. As per the IUCN
Red List category, the maximum number of species are
under Least Concern (129), followed by Not Evaluated
(36), Near Threatened (14), Data Deficient (11),
Vulnerable (4), and Endangered (2). The species Tor
khudree and Tor putitora were found Endangered in the
system. Out of 196 finfish species, 77 are food fishes, 33
having both ornamental and food fish value, 21 are truly
ornamental value, and 31 as sports fishes. Habitat wise
distribution of the fishes indicates that 79 species are truly
freshwater and 3 species are truly marine, while 58 species
range between freshwater and brackish water habitats, 21
between brackish water and marine habitats and 35 species
range from freshwater to marine habitats. This review
presents up-to-date information on finfish biodiversity of
river Narmada. It will help in making appropriate conservation
and management planning of fisheries in this river.
