Abstract

Gopalpura Tank is located  near village Gopalpura in Distt. Guna of M. P. It is one of the artificial water bodies of Guna (M. P.) used for irrigation  as well as for pisciculture.  No known source  of pollution enters the water  body.  Physico-chemical studies  were  undertaken  to  enhance  the  limnological knowledge  about the tank  and to  explore  possibilities  for  better management of pisciculture. This  paper deals with the some fishes  of the Gopalpura Tank at Guna Distt.  (M. P.) in relation  to the abiotic factors i. e. physical  (Temperature,  Conductivity, Transparency,  Turbidity,  Colour) and chemical  (pH, DO, Free  CO.  COD, Chloride, Total alkalinity, Hardness). Altogether the total numbers of fishes described are eleven in number from this Tank.
