Abstract

The  paper incorporates the  findings on  the  seasonal abundance and   fluctuations of  benthic fauna in  relation to  physico-chemical parameters  of water in  the  selective stretches  of  river Beas.  Considerable   variations of benthic fauna in  quality and  quantity were observed. The   population of  benthic fauna was  high  in  the  month  of  July (418.0   units/m) while  minimum  in  December (38.0   units/m).
