Abstract

In present investigation of Ichthyofauna diversity fishes have been studied from Ghagardara dam in month of June 2016 to May 2017. The Ghagardara dam is Kandhar Taluka in Nanded District, Maharashtra. Ghagardara dam is an earthen pond 315 m in length with maximum height 19.84 m. Full tank level (FTL) 468.70 m and maximum water level (M.W.L.) 471.20 m. The water of dam is one of the most important aquatic resources. The water of dam is used irrigation, fish culture and drinking purposes. The population of fishes is found in abundance and majority of the fishes are exploited for human consumption. About 16 fish species belonging to 05 order and 06 families were recorded during study. The sustainable management and utilization of this dam water is discussed for diversity, fisheries.

Keywords: Ghagardara dam, Fish diversity, Fisheries, Wallago attu, Catla-catla.
