The attempt has been made to study ichthyofaunal diversity of Wardhariver and Nirguda river in selected stretch of Wani during November 2008 to October 2009. During study, survey, collection and identification up to species level has been done with standard keys and books. In total 37 species of 24 different genera, 14 families and 7 orders were recorded from the Wani area.
