Abstract

An attempt has been made to study the fish fauna naturally occurring in Alwara lake of district Kaushambi, Uttar Pradesh. The survey was focussed mainly on fish biodiversity and undertaken during all the 12 months of year 2014. A total of 89 species of fishes belonging to 45 genera, 21 families and 9 orders were identified. Cyprinidae were found most dominant family represented by 41 species followed by Bagridae with 8 species, Anabantidae with 5 species, Ophiocephalidae with 4 species, Schilbeidae with 4 species and Mastacembeleidae with 4 species. Rest other families were represented by 3 or 2 or 1 species. This was the first ever systematic survey on the fish diversity of this lake.
