Fish diversity of Dahaura Lake, Bahraich, U.P.
Summary
Researchers investigated fish diversity in Dahaura Lake, Bahraich (Uttar Pradesh, India), recording 28 fish species belonging to 21 genera, 15 families, and 7 orders under a mopping survey programme, with Siluriformes (9 species) and Cypriniformes (7 species) as the dominant orders in this wetland ecosystem.
Fishesare very important components of the wetlands and they play an important rolein food wed. The results of the present study reveal that occurrence of 28 fishspecies belonging to 21 genera 15 families and 7 orders. The member of orderSiluriformes were dominated by 9 species followed by Cypriniformes (7 species);Perciformes (05 species),Ophiocephaliformes (02 species), Clupeiformes (02 species), Synbranciformes (02species), and Beloniformes (01 species). All the species identified in the presentstudy are reporting first time under mopping survey programme. It is concludedthat the fish in this areaare under threat due to anthropogenic activities suchas overfishing and pollution of the fresh waterbodies.
