Abstract

Fifteen deformed specimens of Cirrhinusmrigala (Ham.Buch.) showing  morphological and vertebral anomalies  were seen  in the collections made by the fishermen from  various fresh water ponds in Jammu district and have been described .Possible causes of fish aberrations have also been discussed.
