The question in everyone’s mind was ‘is there a boat?’ After being assured that she was waiting on the banks of the Brahmaputra, we then drove through the busy office traffic to the tranquillity of the Hyatt Regency Hotel. After some rest, we left at 2pm to visit the Indian Botanic Gardens. On the drive, we got a glimpse of the busy city, a distant view of the Victoria Memorial, the Race course, the Fort William and even the famed Eden Gardens. We reached the Gardens and started off with the massive Banyan tree, which is still growing with the assistance of the government. The birds we saw there included Purple Sunbirds, Bronze-winged Jacanas, Red-breasted Parakeets, Asian Koel, Jungle Babblers, White-throated Kingfishers, Plain Prinia and Greater Coucal. It was warm, and jetlag was catching up, so we returned to our bus at 4.30pm and drove back to our hotel for a well deserved rest.

The weed infested, shallow and nutritionally rich habitats offer a variety of microhabitats for many colorful ornamental fishes. Of these, Badis badis, Botia dario, Esomus dandricus, Chaca Chaca, Chana barca, Nandus nandus, Chanda species etc. are widely acclaimed species and fetches high prices in overseas market. As such these fishes have been taken away by the traders and the entire demand of export met through wild collection. The ornamental fish population are decreasing gradually in the wetlands of Assam due to unsustainable exploitation, habitat degradation and growing human interventions on wetlands. The present communication highlights the current conservation status and diversity of ornamental fishes in the beels of lower Brahmaputra Basin and also suggests some measures for conservation of the ornamental fishes. Key words : Ornamental fish, Wetland, Unsustainable exploitation, Conservation _____________________________________________________________________________________________ INTRODUCTION The wetlands associated with floodplains of rivers ( floodplain wetland) are the biologically sensitive habitats that play a vital role in the recruitment of fish population in the riverine ecosystems and provide nursery grounds for commercially important fishes. They are extremely rich in plant nutrition and therefore have biological productivity.

E-mail: [email protected] Received: September 24, 2015; Revised received: April 7, 2016; Accepted: June 5, 2016 Abstract: The present study on fish biodiversity of Haryana state was carried out during 2011 to 2014. A total number of 59 fish species inhabits the freshwaters of this state. Maximum number of fish species belonged to the order Cypriniformes (35) followed by the order Siluriformes (12) and Perciformes (8). The orders Beloniformes, Clupeiformes, Osteoglossiformes and Synbranchiformes were represented by only one species each. Out of 59 fish species, 2 are endangered, 11 vulnerable, 28 have lower risk of threat, 8 exotic and 4 fish species have lower risk least concern. The conservation status of six fish species has not been evaluated so far, hence they cannot be included in any of the IUCN categories at this moment. Family Cyprinidae alone contributed 32 fish species followed by Bagridae family. Fish species Parapsilorhynchus discophorus was observed for the first time in Haryana waters. This species is the native of Kaveri river basin, the occurrence of this species in river Yamuna may be attributed to some religious activity of people.

The occurrence and abundance of this species is greatly reducing in North-Eastern India. Thus, in view of conserving the species it is Rita Roy undoubtedly important to identify its environmental quality. The climatic characteristics of Tripura Aquaculture Research Unit during last two decades showed that a little by little increase in temperature became a visible feature of Department of Zoology, Tripura the environment of Tripura. Simultaneously, a slow and gradual rise in humidity was also found to be University evident. On the other, rainfall was decreased quantitatively.

II (Nov. 2016), PP 01-07 www.iosrjournals.org Environmental Characters of the Habitat of Chitala chitala (Hamilton-Buchanan, 1822) with Reference to Muhuri River of Tripura, India S Banik1 and Rita Roy2 Department of Zoology, Tripura University, Suryamanainagar 799022, Tripura Abstract: Chitala chitala (Hamilton-Buchanan, 1822) has been considered as an economically important freshwater fish species. As preferred food fish Chitala chitala (Hamilton-Buchanan, 1822) is very popular in Eastern India and North-Eastern India as well. As per IUCN it was enlisted as near threatened fish species. In the present observations it was sampled from some wild habitats of Muhuri river, Tripura, India. Muhuri river of Tripura, India is basically a freshwater ecosystem (Latitude 23013.826’ 33” N, Longitude 910 33.598’ 03” E) located at south district of Tripura, a north-eastern state of India. While sampling the population of this fish species the environmental characters of its habitat river were also analysed. Some of those parameters were 0 water temperature= 19.11-31.68 C, pH= 6.4-7.6, water velocity= 1.68 - 4.29 m/sec, HCO3= 132.22–167.34 ppm and DO2= 4.26 - 7.11 ppm. On basis of the studies of multivariate regression analysis it may be concluded that water temperature (P <0.001), rainfall (P <0.001), pH (P <0.001), DO2 (P <0.001) and HCO3 (P <0.001) of lotic water have had significant correlation with population density of Chitala chitala.

E-mail: [email protected] 10(4): 1162 -1172 Abstract A study was conducted to determine the ichthyofaunal diversity in Bankura district of West Bengal. The area is traversed by major and minor rivers, feeder channels, numer- ous ponds, bills, reservoirs which have made this drought-trodden district as the highest producer of aquatic products within the state. Field survey was conducted in randomly selected local markets covering twenty-two blocks of Bankura. Fish sampling was carried out using various conventional fishing gears. The entire region harbours a wide variety of aquatic fishes. A total number of 92 indigenous fish species belonging to 30 families were identified during this study.

Journal of Fisheries 3(3): 285-292. DOI: dx.doi.org/10.17017/jfish.v3i3.2015.120 Abstract The Brahmaputra River is one of the largest rivers in the world as well as in Bangladesh. The present study was carried out for a period of one year from January to December 2013 with a view to assessing the availability of fishes in the river with species emphasis on species richness, existing threats and conservation issues. Daytime and night sampling were carried out in three sites located along the upstream to downstream course of the river on a monthly basis. Three fishing gears including cast net, seine net and drag net and one fishing trap were employed to collect fishes. A total of 67 finfish species including 63 indigenous and 4 exotic/alien species have been recorded belonging to 46 genera, 24 families and 8 orders.
