Studies conducted for Sarda Sagar reservoir in Uttarakhand state and found 42 fish species belonging to 33 genera, 15 families and 6 orders with disappearance of some earlier reported important species. The available data of fish landing for the period 1997 to 2007 showed dominance (58.86 %) of small sized weed/trace fishes followed by minor carps (16.9%), while the commercially important species like Indian major carps, Common carps and mahseer contributed least share (6.99%), among them only Common carp formed sizeable catch (53%). In general, Gudusia chapra and Labeo gonius of the minor carps group are the dominant species in the catch. The estimated production was recorded 60 Kg/ha. A declining trend was observed in the production during 1997-2007 due to over exploitation and habitat destruction. Rational stocking and harvesting especially ranching with fingerlings of Indian major carps are desirable for stock enhancement.Keywords

The population of mahseers are declining very fast in different parts of India due to indiscriminate fishing of brood stock and juveniles, fast degradation of aquatic ecosystems, construction of dams, barrages and weirs under river valley projects etc and therefore the species deserves high conservation values in India. To save this prized resource, effective conservation and rehabilitation strategies need to be planned and implemented in the country. This requires knowledge of current status of fish, declining trend, aquaculture potential and population structure in the wild habitats, which is yet not carryout comprehensively. In the present paper, an attempt has been made to review evolutionary history, present status and role of conservation biology for their conservation, sustainable utilization and enhancement. Based on the review, discussed potential promising plans, priorities and suggestions, which would help saving mighty mahseers across the country.Keywords

The length-weight relationships of 718 fish individuals covering two families, four genera and five freshwater fish species (Labeo rohita, L. calbasu, Cirrhinus mrigala, Catla catla and Chitala chitala) captured in the River Ganga from May 2005 to March 2010. The regression coefficient (b) value ranged from 3.09 for Chitala chitala, to 3.27 for Cirrhinus mrigala, with a mean of 3.16 at p<0.01 for all species. The condition factor (K) varied considerably from 1.06±0.09 and 1.75±0.32, with a mean value of 1.40±0.32. No information regarding length-weight relationships and condition factor of one of our near threatened species, Chitala chitala was available in database of FishBase. So, this study is the first attempt to bring out the growth condition of this important species and other selected cyprinid species in wild habitat for their sustainable fishery management and conservation.Keywords
