The freshwater fish fauna of Dhule and Nandurbar districts were studied during the period 2013-14. A total of 43 fish species belonging to 8 orders, 16 families and 36 genera were reported from the present study. Out of the 43 reported species, 13 species reported only from Nandurbar district and 11 species from Dhule district. Ninteen species are common to both the districts. The report of Parambassis lala is the first record of this species from Maharashtra State. The fish fauna is threatened due to invasive alien species as well as anthropogenic activities such as overfishing, sand mining, siltation, organic and inorganic pollution. Hence, it is necessary to implement stringent conservation measures to protect the precious ichthyofaunal wealth.Keywords
