ICTHIOFAUNA OF RANI LAKE, , , Mr. Tushar Kumar Gandhi* * Filed of education, Gujarat, India

Abstract : The biotic and abiotic factors and types of the Ecosystem (lentic & lotic habitat) play main role in fish dirversity, Age of the water body, mean depth, water level functuation, dam design and marphometric feature have great ecological implecations. During the present Survey of Rani Lake 16 species of fishes were recorded which belong to 1 order, 2 families and 2 division, The Present study was carried out at Rani Lake during Oct 2011 - March 2012. – Keywords Fish, Species, Diversity.

INTRODUCTION change in the Composition of of fish assemblage often Fishes are treasured resource both in terms of utility as food indicated a variation in the water quality parameters such as and as material for Scientific Study. India vast Potential for PH, temperature. Hardness etc. development of inland fisheries. The fish population of our aquatic ecosystem plays a significant role in the human Table No. : 1 Physico- Chemical Parameters of Rani Lake economy. Approxmately 25000 fishe species have been (Idar) reported from live in fresh water, that too majority of them in Parameters Result tropics. Potentiality of inland resources of inland resources of India are the entire world away rechest in the world. Fishes of Temperature 26-60C inland water of the Indian subcontient have been studies PH 7.77 Since a century Day (1878), Hora (1920-59), Jhingran (1982) Nanda and Tiwari (2001) Dissolved Oxygen demand 5.61 mg / I

Fresh water fishes show variation in relation to habitat and Biochemical Oxygen demand 3.24 mg / I geographical distribution. In our present study an attempt is Total hardness 133.5 mg / I made to document the fish fauna in the Rani Lake during Oct 2011 - March 2012. Total Calcium hardness 22.6 mg / I Alkalinity 153.09 mg / I MATERIAL AND METHODS Chloride 30.6 mg / I Sampling of fish has been mad for ever month through out the study period. Collection of fish was made directly from Sulphate 1.26 mg / I the fisherman during the time of fishing. To type fish nets Nitrate 0.69 mg / I were used life Gill net. Cost net, The fish were brought to the laboratory and preserved in 5% formaldehyde solution, after Phosphate 0.37 mg / I , noting the coloures and general Pigmentation of fishes.

The Change in the composition of a fish assemblage often indicate a variation in the water quality parameters. Such as pH. Temp.. Do, B.O.D. and Nutrient [Jhingran 1996. Shrivastava 1968]- Due to more fecundity of major care and suitable Environmental Condition thesre Exist relatively higher No. of Cypriniformes.
