The present study was carried out to assess ichthyofaunal diversity in two tropical floodplain wetlands namely Chatla and Urmal beel of Brahmaputra basin during 2017-18. The study comprising experimental fishing and observation of fish landings reveals 54 fish species belonging to 38 genera, 8 orders and 21 families from Chatla beel and 52 fish species belonging to 37 genera, 8 orders and 21 families recorded from Urmal beel. Cypriniformes was found to be most dominant order representing 23 and 22 species in Chatla and Urmal, respectively. Family-wise distribution shows Cyprinidae as most diversified with 21 and 20 species in Chatla and Urmal respectively. The study revealed 52 species with food value and 15 species with ornamental value from Chatla beel and 50 species with food value and 13 species with ornamental value from Urmal beel. In case of Chatla beel, 3 species are Near Threatened (NT), 1 vulnerable (VU), 1 Endangered (EN), 47 Least Concern (LC) and 2 Data Deficient (DD) and in case of Urmal beel, 3 species are NT, 1 VU, 1 EN, 45 LC and 2 DD as per IUCN.. The present study holds importance as an earlier attempt to study the fish diversity of these two beels.
