Abstract

The present study deals with the fish diversity of the Mahi River in Rajasthan. The order Cypriniformes was recorded with maximum fish diversity (17), siluriformes and perciformes each represented with 5 spp., osteoglossiformes, synbranchiformes and clupeiformes represented with 2 spp. each, whereas beloniformes only by one species. Besides, impact of anthropogenic activities on fish fauna is discussed and some remedies are also suggested.
