Abstract

The limnological factors in Virla reservoir of west Nimar district ( Khargone) that  were monitored for two years ( July 2001 to June  2003)  show  high  positive  correlations  among different  factors  such  as alkalinity and phosphates ( 0.893),transparency and dissolved oxygen ( 0.885),  pH  and  alkalinity  (  0.873), alkalinity and BOD ( 0.859),  pH and phosphate (  0.826), BOD and phosphate ( 0.764)  [ Table-  2]. The  total number  of 29  species of fishes were  recorded in Virla reservoir  with order  Cypriniformes contributing maximum of 19 members ( 65.51%) of species followed by four members ( 13.79%) of order Ophiocephaliformes.
