Fish Diversity And Physicochemical Parameters In Jambahar (Pharsabahar) Pond Of Jashpur District, Chhattisgarh, India

Abstract

The present study and investigation has been done on the physiochemical condition and fish diversity of Pharsabahar pond of Jashpur district from January 2021 to December 2021. During the study period 28 fish species belonging to 11 families and 19 genera were recorded. The dominant family was Cyprinidae contributing 18 species family. Cyprinidae was represented by the Catla-catla, Cirrhinus-mrigla, Labeo-rohita, Labeo-potail, Puntius sarana, Puntius sophore, Puntius ticto, Hypothalmicthys molitrix, Cyprinus Carpio, Ctenopharungodon idella, Oxygaster gara, Cobitidae by Lepidocephalichthys guntea, Siluridae by Wallago attu, Bagridae by Mystus cavasius, Mystus vittatus, Mystus oar, Saccobranchidae by Heteropneustus fossilis and Clarridae by Clarius batrachus. The observation from the present study proves that valuable changes have occurred due to environmental conditions in the locality. The physicochemical parameters of Pharsabahar pond varied seasonally. Such as Temperature, Turbidity, PH, Dissolve Oxygen, Co₂, Hardness, Nitrate, Transparency, Cloride, Conductivity, TDS, Alkality. For understanding fish diversity water analysis is important. Fish diversity of Pharsabahar pond is depended on the chemical and physical parameter of water.
