ECOLOGY AND FISHERY STATUS OF UKAI RESERVOIR, GUJARAT
The study dealt with the ecology and fish diversity of Ukai reservoir, Gujarat, which was undertaken during July 2014 to August 2015. During the study 50 fish species belonging to 9 orders, 17 families and 38 genera were recorded. The order Cypriniformes was dominant with 22 species followed by Silu...
