Abstract
Malhaniya dam was constructed in the year 2002 on local nala of Dewargaon of Pendra road district Bilaspur. It is situated 22°-45’-20” latitude and 81°-96’-36” longitude. The height of the dam is 21.8 mt. and length 2700 mts. Mainly the water of this dam is used for irrigation and fish culturing. Hence, it has been thought worthwhile to investigate the Hydrobiological Characteristic of Malhaniya Dam with Special Reference to Fish Fauna. The purpose of the dam is irrigation. The survey was conducted from June 2015 to June 2016 during which about seven species were identified as Ctenopharyngodon idella, Labeo rohita, Hypophthalmichthys molitrix, Hypophthalmichthys nobilis, Oreochromis niloticus, Cyprinus carpio, and Tor tor which belongs with order Cypriniformes, perciformes family Cyprinidae and Cichilidae which shows abundance of Cyprinidae species. From the obtained study it may be concluded that Malhaniya dam environment are more favorable for cyprinidae species as compared to other species.
