The Greatest mangrove forest Sundarban is situated at the western side of the river. The river act as baseline of thousands of people in terms of fishing for livelihood and food. Therefore, the objectives of the present study are to list out fish diversity and conservation status of Baleshwari River. An attempt has been undertaken for duration of one year from January to December 2016 to understand the present status, diversity index and conservation status of fishes. The study revealed a total 77 fish species belonging 13 orders, 37 families and 60 genera including 11 exotic species and 5 native carps. Percifomes (32.48%) was found as dominant order followed by the nearest dominant orders was Siluriformes (22.08%), Cypriniformes (22.07%) and Clupiformes (5.20%). The findings of the study showed that Baleshwari river is the habitat of 26 threatened species (4 critically endangered, 6 endangered and 16 vulnerable as per IUCN). Calculated value of Shannon Weiner index, Gibson’s Evenness, Simpson’s dominance index, Simpson’s index of diversity and Margalef’s index of threatened species was ranges between 2.62 to 2.82, 0.55 to 0.67, 0.07 to 0.10, 0.90 to 0.93 and 2.71 to 2.77. Ranges of water quality parameter were between the favorable ranges for inhabiting the threatened fish species of which water temperature, salinity was found as major influential factors for threatened species distribution in this river. The study advocates the need to declare the Baleshwari river as a fish conservation reserve to maintain habitats for spawning, feeding and migration of threatened fish species. Key words: Fish Biodiversity Diversity Index IUCN Conservation Bangladesh INTRODUCTION location [1-4].

In Bangladesh, there are 265 fish species visit, market survey and sample collection. Combination under 154 genera and 55 families [12]. Nowadays, fish of participatory, qualitative and quantitative data was biodiversity and management of associated habitats is a used for primary data collection. Data was collected great challenge [13, 14]. Throughout the last century, personally through face to face interviews. During this riverine ecosystems have suffered from intense human study, the PRA tool focus group discussion (FGD) was intervention resulting in habitat loss and degradation conducted with fish farmers/fishermen to get an overview and as a consequence, many fish species have become on fish distribution and marketing systems, constrains of highly endangered, particularly in rivers where heavy marketing etc. A total of 4 FGD sessions were conducted demand is placed on freshwaters [15-23]. Unimaginable where each group size was 3-4 persons and the duration evidence also indicates that increased saltwater of each session was approximately 1h.

As a result, a total of 64 fish about fish marketing, pricing policy, trading actions, species of Bangladesh have been declared as threatened constrains of fish marketing and socio-economic of which 9 species were recorded as critically endangered, conditions of traders are the consequences of the 30 species as endangered and the remaining 25 species interviews. Secondary data was collected by people living as vulnerable and also 27 species of fish were near the market area. assessed as near threatened by IUCN Bangladesh [25]. This situation clearly indicates the needed of detailed Sample Collection, Identification and Preservation: biodiversity study is imperative to assess the present Fish fauna collected from the study areas were status and sustainable management of water resources identified based on their morphometric and meristic in southern Bangladesh [26].

The major forces behind the loss of biodiversity in freshwater are habitat degradation and fragmentation, increased sedimentation, exotic Naresh Lavudya species introduction, water abstraction, over-harvesting, pollution, and global climate change impacts. College of Fisheries Science, The diversity of Freshwater fish in the River Narmada and its tributaries in the central state of Madhya Junagadh Agricultural Pradesh has been reviewed. A total of 176 species from fresh water habitats out of which 13 orders, 46 University, Veraval, Gujarat, families, 107 genera, and 176 species. The order Cypriniformes represented the highest diversity with 79 India species followed by Perciformes (35 species), Siluriformes (32 species), Clupeiformes (11 species), etc. This review presents up-to-date information on freshwater fish diversity of the River Narmada. Freshwater fish diversity information could also provide a baseline for future more complex ecological studies, and planning the conservation and sustainable use of inshore inland water resources.
