A systematic checklist of freshwater fishes of Balasore district of Odisha, India was provided. A total number of 66 species of fishes under 47 genera, 25 families and 8 orders has been recorded. Highest species diversity was observed in the Cyprinidae (42.4%), followed by Siluridae (22.7%). The fish fauna includes 2 vulnerable (VU), 2 near threatened (NT), 46 least concern (LC), 3 data deficient (DD) and 13 not assessed (NA) species as per IUCN. The present fish fauna is a composite of primary freshwater fishes, estuarine fishes and widely distributed forms. The present finding shows that Balasore district is blessed with diverse fish fauna including numerous economically important food fishes. The water quality of the rivers and streams of the district are not contaminated as the value of pH and DO are within the tolerance limit of class 'D' water prescribed for fish culture and wild life propagation.Keywords

An attempt has been made to study the fish resources of Iril river, Manipur, based on present collection and those reported by the earlier workers. A total of 62 species of fishes representing 40 genera and 18 families has been recorded from the river. These fishes include 7 endangered (EN), 15 vulnerable (VU), 9 lower risk-near threatened (LRnt) and 3 lower risk-least concern (LRlc) species. The fish fauna of the river is a mixture of endemic hill stream, Burmese, Assamese and some widely distributed forms. The river has high fisheries potential as it harbours many commercially important food fishes and its water quality is within the tolerance limit of class 'D' water. Strategies for conservation of threatened fishes are suggested.Keywords

Garra simbalbaraensisis reported for the first time from Jammu, India. The species was originally described from the Simbalbara River, Himachal Pradesh, India. It is distinguished from other congeners in having a prominent short, thick, unilobed and rounded proboscis, distinctly projecting downwards above the transverse groove; a black spot at the upper angle of the gill opening and 33 lateral line scales. Species status of G. simbalbaraensis is discussed with morphometry, and its distribution is extended from the Simbalbara River in Himachal Pradesh to the tributary of Tawi River, Jammu, India.Keywords
