The international community is eagerly looking out for the 12th meeting of the Conference of the Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity with focus on sustainable development from 6 - 17 October 2014 at Pyeongchang, South Korea. This is the time for reckoning by all committed to safeguarding the variety of life on Earth. The rich natural diversity of Kerala forms an important part of our natural heritage and is an essential economic resource. Large number of plant and animal species are endangered due to habitat loss and fragmentation of forests. Most of the rivers of Kerala have become seasonal rain drains due to the degradation of forests. The unsustainable exploitation of natural products, for timber, forest produce and medicinal plants has led to depletion of natural resources. KSBB is firmly dedicated to delivering its commitments of conserving our natural heritage through action at local level. Although achieving our aims will be a big challenge many positive steps have been taken to address these issues targeted at community involvement in management of natural resources. Government will play an important role but cannot deliver this strategy alone. Our conservation efforts, supported actively by public have already made a vital contribution in protecting biodiversity. We fully recognize the importance of people in helping to arrest the loss of biodiversity. Ultimately, conservation efforts can only truly succeed with society’s support. All our efforts were thus concentrated in empowering the local Biodiversity management committees to manage their resources sustainably. KSBB has established a foundation for conserving biodiversity at grassroot level and I look forward to building on this foundation in coming years. The purpose of this annual report is to offer a glimpse into what Kerala State Biodiversity Board has accomplished during 2013-2014. 4 KERALA STATE BIODIVERSITY BOARD Dr. K.P. Laladhas Member Secretary Foreword It gives me immense pleasure in presenting Kerala State Biodiversity Board’s Annual report, a compilation of the institution’s achievements and challenges in conserving Kerala’s rich biodiversity. Notable progress has been made during the financial year, and our ambition is to ensure that the value of nature’s services is better understood and to enhance people’s personal connection with wildlife and nature. This year the Board has built on past investment and achievements in protecting, enhancing and restoring the condition of the region’s natural resources. Having established functional BMC in all LSG’s, building capacity across a range of institutions including BMC and creating awareness of the Act and rules was identified as the thrust area for 2013-2014. During the reporting period, efforts were concentrated on enhancing institutional capacity of relevant local self government by conducting BMC empowerment programme for Panchayat Presidents and Secretaries through District Panchayats. It pleases me to report a vastly improved facility for research in the form of a Biodiversity Research Centre. Our Conservation projects are gaining momentum and we implemented programmes targeted at conserving flagship endemic species, traditional varieties, farm animal diversity, marine and aquatic diversity, urban biodiversity etc. Peoples Artificial Reefs is a community based benefit sharing initiative implemented by KSBB for sustainable development. This is also an example of how knowledge related to genetic resource use can be effectively utilized to widen the economic opportunities of the communities. It is a privilege and great responsibility for KSBB to conserve this precious biodiversity which calls for collective action. I would like to thank the Hon’ble Chief Minister, Minister for Environment, the Board, the Executive team and all the field level staff for their unwavering support during the year in protection of biodiversity of Kerala.

The MBR initiated by KSBB is a pioneering work to document the traditional knowledge systems of local fishermen. It is a record of the demersal species, ecologically important reefs and rocky areas, traditional knowledge on navigation, bottom configuration of the seabed, shoreline changes, and provided indicators to overfishing and marine resource depletion. The traditional way of navigation in sea using a visual triangulation method (kanicham) to identify location of naturally occurring reefs has been illustrated. MBR is a pictorial guide to the diversity of marine resources as sponges, corals, jelly fish, molluscs, crabs, star fish, rare fishes, sea birds, sea snakes, soft corals etc. The register is expected to develop strategies for ecosystem based approaches for sustainable management of marine Hoplolatilus fronticinctus natural resources with community participation and will play an important role in generating awareness of conserving natural resources sustainably.

ABSTRACT The fish samples for the present study were collected from the Kanjiracode Kadavu Lake, Kollam during September 2017 to February 2018. A total of 19 species belonging to 18 families and 19 genera were collected from the study area during the present study. Diversity of fishes and threats to the fauna are discussed Key words: Thevally kadavu, fish diversity, threats. INTRODUCTION Fishes, one of the important component in the aquatic ecosystem and plays a significant role in the economy. The tropical aquatic system bestowed with diverse fish species . They occupy a significant position in the socio – economic fabric of the south Asian countries by providing the population not only the nutrients food but also income and employment opportunities. Forty per cent of the total catch of fishes in India is obtained from the Kerala State. An expert committee constituted by the Govt. of Kerala has strongly advocated transformations of the backwaters, reservoirs, lakes, ponds ,tanks etc in to fish farms. Information on the abundance and distribution of fishes forms the basic step in assessing the fishery resources and their management in aquatic biotopes. A comprehensive survey of the fishery resources of the lakes, rivers etc of Kerala has become essential for the effective management, planned exploitation and scientific conservation of these highly productive water bodies. India is endowed with a vast expanse of open inland waters in the form of rivers, canals, estuaries, natural and man made lakes, back waters, mangrove wetlands.

History Kasaragod, the northernmost district of Kerala, is endowed with rich natural resources and is noted for its majestic forts, ravishing rivers, hills, green valleys and beautiful beaches. The rich and varied cultural heritage of the district is portrayed through spectacular presentations of Theyyam, Yakshagana, Poorakkali, Kolkali and Mappilappattu.
