Karyological characters of 18 fishes from Mula and Mutha River were studied by examining metaphase chromosome spreads. Four species includes showed good chromosomal spreads. Diploid chromosome number of R. daniconius was 2n=75 whereas O. bimaculatus showed 2n=48. Similarly, P. sophore and M. cavasius showed 2n=50 and 2n=58 respectively. For other fish species, we faced technical difficulties which are discussed here with probable solutions on them.

Abstract


Karyological characters of 18 fishes from Mula and Mutha River were studied by examining metaphase chromosome spreads. Four species includes showed good chromosomal spreads. Diploid chromosome number of R. daniconius was 2n=75 whereas O. bimaculatus showed 2n=48. Similarly, P. sophore and M. cavasius showed 2n=50 and 2n=58 respectively. For other fish species, we faced technical difficulties which are discussed here with probable solutions on them.
