Abu Bakar Siddique, Muhammad Afzal Hussain, Fawzia Adib Flowra, Mohammad Manjurul Alam*1 Department of Fisheries, University of Rajshahi, Rajshahi 6205, Bangladesh. Abstract: The research was carried out to enlist the fish species diversity along with diversity indices Article history: Received 2 July 2016 of existing fish species of Chalan Beel, Bangladesh. During the study, a total of 78 fish species Accepted 21 September 2016 including 69 native and 9 exotic fish species were recorded belonging 10 orders and 26 families. The Available online 25 October 2016 values of Shannon-Weiner diversity index (H') indicated a good spread of fish population in Chalan Beel although the number of species was not found satisfactory. The degradation of water quality Keywords: due to domestic discharges, jute rotting, excessive usage of agro-chemicals, indiscriminate fishing Fish Fauna Shannon-Weiner activity etc. were revealed as the causes of declining the fish diversity of this Beel. The Margalef’s Margalef’s richness richness index (d) expressed the species richness of Chalan Beel that started in July by joining new Pielou’s index fish population with the existing fish species and reached gradually highest in November after breeding. Pielou’s index (J) showed the equal distribution pattern of fish species throughout the sampling area indicating a stable but incompatible habitat for existing fish species.
