Fishes are among the abundant vertebrates in the world. There are about 39,900 species of vertebrates, among which about 21,720 species are fishes; out of which about 8410 are fresh water species and 11,650 are marine water species. India occupies the ninth position in fresh water mega biodiversity in the world. In India there are 2500 species of fish, among which 930 species are fresh water and about 1570 are marine species. The 742 fresh water fishes documented in India belong to 233 genera, 64 families and 16 orders.

Abstract


Fishes are among the abundant vertebrates in the world. There are about 39,900 species of vertebrates, among which about 21,720 species are fishes; out of which about 8410 are fresh water species and 11,650 are marine water species. India occupies the ninth position in fresh water mega biodiversity in the world. In India there are 2500 species of fish, among which 930 species are fresh water and about 1570 are marine species. The 742 fresh water fishes documented in India belong to 233 genera, 64 families and 16 orders.
