Abstract
Fish nutrients are essential for human health
and national economies. The study was conducted from April 2022 to March 2023
by examining fish diversity in the Vanivilasa Sagara reservoir in Chitradurga
district, Karnataka. This study demonstrated that this reservoir supports 25
species of fishes belonging to 12 families and 21 genera. Among them,
Cyprinidae is the most predominant group with 11 species, followed by,
Channidae, Siluridae, and Ambassidae with 02 species each and rest of the
families viz., Cichlidae, Gobiidae, Notopteridae, Belonidae, Clariidae,
Bagridae, Mastacembelidae and Heteropneustidae each with 01 species
respectively. Biodiversity status and significance of fishes are discussed in
this article. Therefore, to properly manage and utilize this fish abundance,
sustainable measures must be taken to fish health in this reservoir.
