Faunal biodiversity is an essential for stabilization of an ecosystem, protection of overall environmental quality for understanding intrinsic worth of all species on the earth. Ichthyo-biodiversity mainly focused to variety of species richness depending upon circumstance and scale it could refer alleles or genotypes within species of life. The sampling point a branch of Cauvery, specifically Kollidam (Coleroon) river, Lower Anicut was selected for the present work carried out. Species identification was followed by colour patterns of body, fins, measurements and counts were clearly observed. Additionally, the results of high-resolution image were used to extrapolate and assess the morphological identification. Species richness and availability was categorized as TY (Throughout Year), TYLQ (Throughout Year in Little Quantity), TYBQ (Throughout Year in Bulk Quantity), SQM (Small Quantity during Monsoon), BQM (Bulk Quantity during Monsoon), R (rare), ER (Extremely Rare) and NE (Not Evaluated). Following, the objectives and importance of this study to required and updated the information about diversity of fishes and its conservation through survey of sampling, fisher folk, fish researchers, government personnel and experienced persons in relation to fisheries sectors. The assessment and documentation of the Ichthyo diversity and species richness in Lower Anicut reservoir, Tamil Nadu thereby to evaluate the conservation status of species, taking into reflection in riverine health and making the people more aware about local environment and its conservation for their existence.

So far, around 750 species of freshwater Introduction fish taxa have been recorded in India whereas, out of 350 taxa have been estimated as an endemic in Western Ghats Freshwater ecosystems have distinctive properties [8] which encompass 85 endemic and 15 taxa in adjacent both underpin and challenges for many key tenets of areas. Similarly, the river of Cauvery is one of the major conservation biogeography. Freshwater fishes to bionetwork systems and also is a foremost habitat of the exemplify this phenomenon, good health, high diversity richest freshwater fish fauna in Tamil Nadu, India. As well, and endemism stem were largely from the fact that the one of the main tributary namely Kollidam (Coleroon) freshwaters are embedded within a terrestrial landscape river, Lower Anicut is the prominent freshwater fishery that limits to dispersal within and among riverine basins. resource and it play an important role in energy flow, It may be broadly defines as the variety and variability cycling of nutrients and maintaining bio-community among living organisms and ecological complexes in balance in an ecosystem. Further, the fast flowing river which they occur. These factors underlie an interesting has been an excellent habitat and environment enabling observation such as regional to global scales, the most to evolution of richest fish diversity. Hitherto, this river is fishes were occupied only a fraction of the localities believed to be an important feeding and spawning ground where they might it and otherwise to thrive [1]. In and conserve a variety of species which support to the addition, this constrained riverine habitat is at least commercial fisheries in throughout year. Thus, fishes partially responsible for the fantastic diversity of occupy a remarkable position from socio-economical freshwater fishes around the world [2]. Specifically one of point of view for fisher folk. As a result, the river was also author [3] were strongly quoted that the river has a supports livelihood and nutritional security for the above varied population of important indigenous species of fish said people living alongside Mathialagan, et al. 2014). which form the basis for a fairly rich fishery. Besides, the Some, recent studies on biodiversity loss and its faunal diversity is an essential for stabilization of implications for ecosystem services have uncovered and ecosystem, protection of overall environmental quality, unprecedented species extinctions at global and regional for understanding intrinsic worth of all species on the levels [9]. Though, the freshwater diversity has declined earth. Ichthyodiversity mainly focused to variety of faster than either terrestrial or marine over past three species richness depending upon circumstance and scale decades [10]. During the last century, riverine ecosystems it could refer alleles or genotypes within population to have suffered from intense human intervention as a species of life or within a fish community to species or life resulting in loss of habitat, degradation and as a structure across the aquatic system [4]. It is a vital tool to consequence of many species have become highly develop our knowledge and understanding the endangered, particularly in rivers where is heavy demand biodiversity often the first footstep to embark on effectual is placed on freshwater bionetwork. Likewise, freshwater conservation action. In addition, the information is also a fish are one of the most threatened taxonomic groups [11] fundamental assess to changes in species composition and because it their high sensitivity both quantitative and distribution [5]. The species diversity of an ecosystem is qualitative alteration of aquatic habits [12,13]. At the habitually related to the amount of living and non-living present time, fish diversity and management is linked to organic matter present in it. On the other hand, obvious habitats, in addition conservational view of aquatic species diversity depends upon the characteristics of a diversity has gained great ecological magnitude over single ecosystem than on the interactions between recent years [14]. As well, habitat isolation and dispersal ecosystems, i.e. transport of living animals across the limitation that have been generated high in freshwater different gradient region. Further, the effect of such fish diversity and also can increase the risk of species transport is an important 'information' exchange to extinction. Freshwaters are subjected to panoply of enhancing the diversity richness.

  • Mapping Encroachments Along the River Kaveri in Tamil Nadu, Thanjavur District, India
    Available online a twww.scholarsresearchlibrary.com Scholars Research Library Archives of Applied Science Research, 2016, 8 (5):70-76 (http://scholarsresearchlibrary.com/archive.html) ISSN 0975-508X CODEN (USA) AASRC9 Flood control measures: mapping encroachments along the river Kaveri in Tamil Nadu, Thanjavur District, India J. Senthil * and P. H. Anand Department of Geography, Govt. Arts College (A), Kumbakonam, Tamil Nadu, India _____________________________________________________________________________________________ ABSTRACT Problem of encroachments on the river Kaveri area is grave and affects the rural environment of this region during seasonal and flash floods. Like the problem of polluted waters, that of encroachments is quite common with almost all the rivers and streams. The first type of encroachment comes from the builders of houses and other concerns. Due to the steep growth of population in Kaveri delta area, and concentration of more rural villages are being affected. The area on the banks of the Kaveri which generally lies vacant and unused seems to be an ideal place for constructing houses and other encroachments. Thus unauthorized colonies and houses are being built on the banks of the Kaveri. Second type of encroachment is by the farmers who own lands adjoining to the Kaveri. The greed for more yields and more income at any cost has led the farmers to hunt for more land. For the gross root level study and to use the GPS survey the entire river length (77 km) has been divided into five zones and identified the encroachments. Key words: Encroachments, GPS, Flash Flood _____________________________________________________________________________________________ INTRODUCTION An illegal intrusion in a highway or navigable river, with or without obstruction is encroachments.

Received 05th August 2015; Revised 25th August 2015; Accepted 30th August 2015 ABSTRACT The mineralogical composition of 30 sedimental samples of upper surface from Cauvery and Kollidam Rivers in Tiruchirappalli district, Tamil Nadu, India has been analyzed by using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. The compounds observed in the spectrum are quartz, kaolinite, feldspar, calcite, hematite, biotite, magnetite, illite, and organic carbon. From the observed compounds, quartz has been found in almost all the samples. The metallic elements have been analyzed by atomic absorption spectrometry and the presence of iron, manganese; zinc and copper are found to be low compared to standard values. The percentage of sand, silt, and clay in the samples has been estimated by granulometric analysis.
