Abstract

The present investigation was undertaken to study the fish diversity of Sogane and Santhekadur tanks, Shimoga. About 17 fish species were identified in these tanks which were represented by 4 orders, 11 families and 14 genera. The family Cyprinidae dominated the other groups of fish in both the tanks. The study of fish fauna of an aquatic body is useful for planning of fisheries development. The water quality analysis of these tanks was analyzed to study its influence on fish.
