| contents | <p>Abstract <br>The present study investigated freshwater fish <br>diversity in Saharanpur district, Uttar Pradesh, <br>India, during January-April 2026. Fish samples <br>were collected from rivers, canals, ponds, <br>wetlands, and reservoirs using standard <br>sampling methods. A total of 24 fish species <br>belonging to 9 families and 5 orders were <br>recorded, with family Cyprinidae being <br>dominant (41.6%). River habitats showed higher <br>fish diversity compared to stagnant water bodies. <br>Economically important fishes such as Labeo <br>rohita, Catla catla, and Cirrhinus mrigala were <br>commonly observed. Biodiversity indices <br>indicated moderate to high ichthyofaunal <br>diversity and relatively stable ecological <br>conditions. However, pollution, agricultural <br>runoff, and overfishing negatively affected fish <br>diversity. The study emphasizes the importance <br>of conservation and sustainable fisheries <br>management for freshwater ecosystems in <br>Saharanpur district. </p> |
