No specific appraisal is needed on these volumes, for every Ichthyologist, whether an academician, or an applied worker invariably refer to these works fgr the basic identification of these fishes. These volumes have been written with utmost care by the auther and provided with excellent illustrations, Inspite of the extensive systematic research that was carried out in post Day-ean times, still the value of Day's volumes remain equally important. The very fact that the Government of India published the photo offset copies of theDay's Fauna of British India (1963) speaks itself of the immense value and popularity enjoyed by his walks. Unfortunately, in the field of taxonomy due to the refinement of taxonomic techniques, often nomenclatural changes are unavoideble and Dav·s publications are no exception. and there­ fore, most. if not all, his scientific names became obsolete and ,are not in vogue in the taxonomist world. Even though Misra (1969, 1976) tried to revise the Fish Fauna of India'. the names incorporated in his volumes (1969, 1976) also became invalid or emended by subsequent workers. Many of the latest publications on fish taxonomy are, however. inaccessible to a generalist, though not to the specialist, and even to the letter building up of an excellent library on all fish groups is not practicable if not impossible save by reknowned institutions like the Zoological Survey of India. Therefore, there is every scope of burdening the ichthyolo­ gical literature often by improper names by the generalists, applied scientists and occasionally by the specialists themselves cauling confusion. Recently, Jayaram (1982) brought out his Handbook of the Fresh water Fishes of India, which cover all the common fresh 1. Southern Regional Station, 100 Santhome High Road, Madras-600 028 2.

Paper No. 87 water fishes, and alsp ~ -~ood number of, estuarina fis~es,. giving keys­ and distributional data. Yet, this accounts only a part' of the Va'IiJ8'ble fish fauna of Ind~a. Inspite of all these later ~tilitarian taxonomic or bio-ecological works, still consultation of Day's Fishes of India and Fauna of BrHish India volumes is inevitable,.. last without a passing, reference atledst to them any work becomes incomplete. Revision of D'ay's 'Fauna of British India is, a utopian task and it is. not possible to do so unless and until the Fund of literature and collections of fishes now distributed in many of the museums, unIver­ sities, and other research Institutions in I ndia and abroad, are­ available. Therefore, the best course would be to substitute the tatest nomenclature to those fish~~ referred to in Day's works, whic~ will serve as a guide to all consulting Day's works. With the above aim, a list of the current scienti Ie names of the­ Day's fish. fauna was compiled keeping the latest research publica­ tions in mind. We'do well realise, that some of the species. referred to by 'Sir Day are infact, composite ,species,. and are now split up, into many complexes, or species,-groups, a.nd provi.ded with seve-ra I. other names. We have tried to give all these individual names against such com~osite species 9iroups at the appropriate places, and the generalist , . shouJd inYariably be careful in relegating the suitable name to his fish depending o~ ,other mor~hologtca' characters and consulting later research public~~i9,ns in all such cases; ( tt is hoped, that this list will provide the basic. tool and guide fot,pll ichth.yologists while using Day's trea,\ises,.

Post Graduate College, Mansehra, Pakistan 2Department of Botany, Govt. Post Graduate College, Mansehra, Pakistan 3Department of Zoology, Govt. Degree College, Oghi, Pakistan E-mail: [email protected] Received 12 August 2020; Accepted 20 September 2020; Published 1 December 2020 Abstract Ichthyofaunal composition is the most important and essential biotic component of an aquatic ecosystem. There is worldwide distribution of fresh water fishes. Pakistan is blessed with a diversity of fishes owing to streams, rivers, dams and ocean. In freshwater bodies of the country about 193 fish species were recorded. There are about 30 species of fish which are commercially exploited for good source of proteins and vitamins. The fish marketing has great socio economic value in the country. Unfortunately, fish fauna is declining at alarming rate due to water pollution, over fishing, pesticide use and other anthropogenic activities. Therefore, about 20 percent of fish population is threatened as endangered or extinct. All Mashers are ‘endangered’, notably Tor putitora, which is also included in the Red List Category of International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) as Endangered. Mashers (Tor species) are distributed in Southeast Asian and Himalayan regions including trans-Himalayan countries like Pakistan and India. The heavy flood of July, 2010 resulted in the minimizing of Tor putitora species Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and the fish is now found extinct from river Swat.

Date: December 2020 Copyright © 2020 Stellenbosch University All Rights Reserved i Stellenbosch University https://scholar.sun.ac.za Abstract: Labeo spp. are large freshwater fish found throughout southern Asia, the Middle East and Africa. The genus is characterised by specialised structures around the mouth and lips making it adapted to herbivorous feeding (algae and detritus). Clanwilliam sandfish (Labeo seeberi) was once widespread throughout its natural habitat (Olifants-Doring River system), but significant decreases in population size have seen them become absent in the Olifants River and retreat to the headwaters in the tributaries of the Doring River. Currently sandfish are confined to three populations namely the Oorlogskloof Nature Reserve (OKNR), Rietkuil (Riet) and Bos, with OKNR being the largest of the three and deemed the species sanctuary.

    Introduction Contribution of Indigenous Fish in Total Production Is

    Workshop Proceedings on Indigenous Fish Stock and Livelihood in Nepal 1 Introduction Contribution of indigenous fish in total production is declining worldwide as most fresh and marine fishes have been over fished (FAO 2008). Previously, many such over fished waters were introduced with non-native fish for providing immediate reliance to fishers through enhancing capture fisheries; and protection of native fish being over exploitation by diverting fisher to non-indigenous species. Details of scientific review might need either those strategies could be fruitful or not. However, recently, more focus has been given to develop the technologies of native fish species for enhancing their fishery and aquaculture from biodiversity perspectives. Knowledge and information on native species from the present perspective has seldom been synthesized and analyzed. Therefore, it is essential to collect the scattered data and prioritize the strategies for sustainable technological generation of these species in the country. The current proposal for organizing a workshop on such a crucial subject would be highly fruitful to give the direction of future research in development of fisheries and aquaculture technologies prioritizing values of indigenous fishes and re-positioning the fisheries and aquaculture to more rewarding, environment friendly, socially acceptable and economically profitable activity. The overall objective of the workshop is aquaculture development of native fish species for biodiversity and aquaculture practices. The symposium would attract the scientific attention on review, cross interaction, situation analysis, planning focused research, intervention program to make fisheries and aquaculture technology of indigenous fishes more competitive and advantageous. To address these issues, technical sessions are planned in following major themes: A.
