A Study on the Piscifauna of Gandhisagar Reservoir with Particular Reference to the Abundance of Commercial Varieties of Fish*

A study of the pisdfauna of Gandhisagar reservolr, Chambal river, Madhya Pradesh, during 1985-86, has revealed the presence of 41 fish species belonging to 5 orders, 14 families and 28 genera. Commerdally important species were Catla catla, Labeo rohita, Cirrhinus mrigela, followed by Labeo calbasu,...
