Abstract
The Pravara River, a significant tributary of
the Godavari River in Maharashtra, supports a rich and diverse ichthyofauna.
This study provides a comprehensive assessment of fish diversity across
different zones of the Pravara River. A total of 42 species from 7 orders, 14
families, and 28 genera were recorded. Dominant families include Cyprinidae,
Siluridae, Channidae, and Bagridae. The findings highlight the ecological
significance of the river, while drawing attention to environmental threats and
suggesting management strategies for sustainable conservation.
