Systematic account on fishfs of Bastar is not much known! 'except the referenqe 01 Hora (1938). During tlre period 1978-1980 field! sur.veys in Bastar district were conducted and representative exampllis of fi'sh from th'e. localities detailed! in the list of collrecting stations were collected. The, present paper deals on the aforesaid material whiCh comprises ] 00 species belonging to 45 genera and 19. familiies. Of these, two ~peciesJ viz., Ciupis01110 bastari and Panthls saberi have belen established (Datta and! Ka.rnlakar, 1980, 1981). Dubey and Mehra (1.959) worked on the fish and fisheries of Chambal river and listed! 71 species of fishes. Hora (1938) reported 13 species of fishes from Bailadila rang~J Bastar d~S:trict. Hora (1940) described 43 species of fislhes from the headwaters of th'c, Mahanadi river, Raipur district, Central Provinces. Hora and Nair (1941) report~d 40 species of fishes fronl the Satpum range, Hoshang.a bad distrj;ct~ Ce.ntral Provinces. Soltli (1959, 60) found 35 sp'ecies of fisihes in Bhopftl lower lake and 43 spec~es of fishes in Bhopal upper lake respectively. Menon (1951) discuss~dI onl the role of East~rn Ghats in the distribution, of Malayan fauna and flora to penin­ sular India. The present fish collectjons were made in the head waters of Godavari and Mahanadi River Systems, namely, Indravati river, Saberi rJver, Mahanadi, Dudlhnadi ~nd Kukri (Boor) river. Collections were also made mOlll lakes, tanks and! othe,r watennasses. TIre general topography of the area is nlainly mount'ainous intersected with rivers and rivulets. The valleys are undulating with dry, m~xed, deci­ duous fo[est'es consisting mainly of Sal. Teak, Mahua, Tamalrind', Tendu t Jamun, Mango, Peepal, Palm, Balnboo, Babbul and valri'ous kinds of creepers. The undcrcanopp consists of grasses (ghonar, kusad).

Today, its network of Flood Forecasting and Warning Stations has gradually extended over the years and covers almost all the major inter-state flood prone river basins throughout the country. The network comprised of 175 Flood Forecasting Stations including 28 inflow forecast during the year 2008, in 9 major river basins and 71 sub basins of the country. It covered 15 states besides NCT Delhi and UT of Dadra & Nagar Haveli. The flood forecasting activities of the Commission are being performed every year from May to October through its 21 field divisions which issue flood forecasts and warnings to the civil authorities of the states as well as to other organizations of the central & state governments, as and when the river water level touches or is expected to touch the warning level at the flood forecasting stations. The flood season 2008 witnessed unprecedented flood events in recent history. Both the river Subarnarekha at Rajghat and river Ghaghra at Ayodhya had once again recorded in 2008 a fresh "unprecedented Flood", for the second consecutive year after experiencing a similar event in 2007.

India: l09(Part-l) : 41-47, 2009 FRESHWATER FISH FAUNA OF ANDHRA PRADESH WITH COMMENTS ON THE THREATENED AND ENDEMIC SPECIES R. P. BARMAN Zoological Survey of India, FPS Building, Kolkata-700 016 INTRODUCTION Andhra Pradesh is one of the eight maritme states of our country lying on the southeastern coast of the Indian Peninsula. Three major mountain ranges are located in the state. The Eastern Ghats which constitute a chain of hill ranges fringing the east coastal line, the Deccan plateau with the Sahyadri range of Adilabad district to the north border and the Horseley & other hills of the Chittoor and Anantapur districts to the south border of this state. Two major rivers of South India. viz., the Godavari and the Krishna River with their several tributaries form the chief perennial river systems of this state. There are a large number of medium and small sized rivers in addition to several Man made reservoirs in this state. Moreover, there are several wetlands including one of the National Wetlands, viz., Kolleru Lake in this state. The state is known to contain 158 species under 68 genera, 27 families and 10 orders of freshwater fishes (Barman, 1993). The freshwater fish fauna of this state has been reviewed in respect of the threatened and endemic freshwater fishes of our country. This has revealed that Andhra Pradesh contains 53 threatened freshwater fishes of India as per Molur & Walker (1998) and Menon (1999 and 2004). Out ofth 53 threatened species, Endangered, Vulnerable, Rare and near threatened species are represented by 15, 27, 5 and .6 species respectively.

    163 BIODIVERSITY STATUS OF FISHES INHABITING RIVERS OF KERALA (S. INDIA) WITH SPECIAL REFERENCE TO ENDEMISM, THREATS AND CONSERVATION MEASURES Kurup B.M. Radhakrishnan K.V. Manojkumar T.G. School of Industrial Fisheries, Cochin University of Science & Technology, Cochin 682 016, India E-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT The identification of 175 freshwater fish- es from 41 west flowing and 3 east flowing river systems of Kerala were confirmed. These can be grouped under 106 ornamental and 67 food fish- es. The biodiversity status of these fishes was assessed according to IUCN criteria. The results showed that populations of the majority of fish species showed drastic reduction over the past five decades. Thirty-three fish species were found to be endemic to the rivers of Kerala. The distributions of the species were found to vary within and between the river systems and some of the species exhibited a high degree of habitat specificity. The diversity and abundance of the species generally showed an inverse relationship with altitude. The serious threats faced by the freshwater fishes of Kerala are mostly in the form of human interventions and habitat alter- ations and conservation plans for the protection and preservation of the unique and rare fish bio- diversity of Kerala are also highlighted. 164 Biodiversity status of fishes inhabiting rivers of Kerala (S.India) INTRODUCTION river. Habitat diversity was given foremost importance during selection of locations within the river system. Kerala is a land of rivers which harbour a rich The sites for habitat inventory were selected based on and diversified fish fauna characterized by many rare channel pattern, channel confinement, gradient and and endemic fish species.
