INTRODUCTION till 2016. The Western Ghats of India, together with Sri Lanka, is considered as one of the major biodiversity hotspots MATERIALS AND METHODS of the world (Myers et al. 2000). Currently, 320 species of freshwater fishes under 11 orders, 35 families and Fish collection was done from June 2013 till May 2016 112 genera are known from the Western Ghats, of at 14 different localities spread out on approximately which 66% are endemic to this zoogeographical region 60km stretch of the Hiranyakeshi River (Fig. 1). Fishes (Dahanukar & Raghavan 2013). This rich diversity of were collected using cast net, gill net, drag net and fishes is under threat due to several anthropogenic scoop net with the help of local fishermen. Local stressors (Dahanukar et al. 2011) and about 47% of the market at Ajara (16.1190N & 74.2110E) was also visited endemic fishes in this region are under threatened and to examine species that were missed out on surveys. near threatened categories (Dahanukar & Raghavan A limited number of specimens of each species were 2013). A major hindrance in the conservation action in collected and preserved in 4% formaldehyde. Collected this area is the lack of base line data on species diversity fish specimens are deposited in the museum collection and distribution. As compared to the southern Western of Bombay Natural History Society (BNHS), Mumbai; Ghats, the northern region is relatively less studied for its and the Wildlife Information Liaison Development fish diversity (Dahanukar et al. 2011). This is especially (WILD) Society, Coimbatore.

The area is enriched with diversified fish fauna. A perusal of literature reveals that the area is blessed with 291 species under I 19 genera, 38 families and 12 orders (Hora, 1921 a, 1921b, 1936; Jayaram 1963, 1999; Malhotra and Suri, 1969; Sen, 1977, 1995, 1999a, 1999b; Bannan, 1984, 1992, 1994; Sen, 1985; S~gh & Singh, 1985; Vishwanath & Singh, 1986; Datta, Bannan & Jayaram, 1987; Talwar & Jhingran, 1991; Bhagowati & Biswas 1992; Vishwanath, 1993; Sen & Biswas, 1994; Nath & Dey, 1-997;· Keishing & Vishwanath, 1998, 1999; Kumar & Singh, 1998; Vishwanath et al. 1998; Vi &hwanath & Kosygin, 1999, 2000a, 2000b, 2001; Arunkumar, 2000a, 2000b; Arunkumar & Singh, 2000; Menon et al. 2000). The recorded and reported species along with their distribution in different States of N. E. India, status, type locality and endemicity have been shown in Table 1. Controversy is there regarding total number of species occurring in North East India. Regarding endemic species also differences of opinion persist. Sen (1985) identified 48 species to be endemic to Assam and neighbouring North Eastern States. Sarkar and Ponniah (2000) reported 66 species endemic to this region. Ghosh and Lipton (1982) reported 33 species as restricted in their distribution to this region. The present paper is worked out to get a total picture of the fish species recorded and reported so far from this region, as well as the endemic and threatened species occurring in N.

It is fairly rich in phosphorous. It is responsive to irrigation and nitrogenous fertilizers. The average annual rainfall is 771,7 mm. The temperature in this area is maximum 100°P and minimum 8G°F which is favourable to sugarcane cultivation. The fanners in this area had. the knowledge of sugarcane cultivation since old times. They used 40 to prepare jaggery, Sankeshwar was a very big and famous jaggery market from where jaggery used to be exported to distant places. River Hiranyakeshi flows through this area. The quality of soil# the climate and irrigation available due to Hiranyakeshi river motivated the farmers to grow sugarcane. There are three dams on the river Hiranyakeshi at Gotur# Uilji and Gijavane, The inadequate rainfall has motivated the farmers to establish irrigation schemes.

  • A Checklist of the Ende'mic and Threatened Fishes of Western Ghats
    Rec. zool. Surv. India. 98(Part-4) : 39-43. 2000 A CHECKLIST OF THE ENDE'MIC AND THREATENED FISHES OF WESTERN GHATS B. E. YADAV Zoological Survey of India, Western Regional Station, Sect. 29, Vidya Nagar, Akurdi, Pune - 411 044 INTRODUCTION The Western Ghats, an important biogeographic zone of India and one of the global hotspots, offer beautiful niches to the piscine fauna of the region. The Ghats having about 1400 km. long almost continuous chain of hills, obstruct southwest monsoon an(i forms major water shade for Peninsular' India. It gives rise to three east flowing major rivers like Godavari, Krishna and Cauvery as well as many short west flowing rivers viz. Vaitarana, Savitri, Vashishthi, Shastri and number of their tributaries. Higher degree of precepitation, moderate climate and huge forest cover in the Western Ghats supports plenty of aquatic life including fish fauna. More than 60 million years old tropical ecosystem of Western Ghats, having senile topography and many naturally portected streams, ponds and rivulets enrich high degree of endemism among ichthyofauna. Yet, out of ) 35 species of fishes known from northern part of Western Ghats, about 38% are under threat and few are on the verge of extinction. The present work is based on study carried out by examining the huge fish collection present at WRS/ZSI, Pune collected from ) 960-) 995 (Yadav ) 997). MATERIAL AND METHODS The colection was made by using cast net, bag net, water net etc. in rivers; by blocking a small portion of hillstream or by drying out smaller ponds. The fish specimens were instantly fixed in the 4.50/0 Formaldehyde solution.

    Global Journal of Science Frontier Research Environment & Earth Science Volume 13 Issue 2 Version 1.0 Year 2013 Type : Double Blind Peer Reviewed International Research Journal Publisher: Global Journals Inc. (USA) Online ISSN: 2249-4626 & Print ISSN: 0975-5896 Water Pollution Status of Hiranyakeshi River from India By Rajaram S. Sawant, Sachinkumar R. Patil, Ashvin G. Godghate & Shobha D. Jadhav Dr. Ghali College, Gadhinglaj, India Abstract - The present study reveals with seasonal analysis of various physico-chemical parameters like Air temperature, Water temperature, E. C., pH, Free CO2, Alkalinity, Total hardness, Calcium hardness, Magnesium hardness, Sodium, Potassium, Chlorides, Nitrates, Phosphates, Sulfates and DO of surface water collected from six different sampling sites from Hiranyakeshi River during January 2010 to December 2010. During this period seasonal variation were observed in all the parameters from all sampling sites and found within the limits of WHO standards except at Site V. Electric conductivity at Site VI during winter and summer season were exceeding limits of WHO standards. Total hardness at Site V considerably increased than that of other Sites. Concentration of Chlorides was also considerably high at Site V in all seasons which are indication of pollution. Over all it has been concluded that Site V is considerably polluted than that of all other Sites. Keywords : hiranyakeshi river, physico-chemical para-meters, pollution, water quality.
