Abstract

Fresh water is essential to human society and the survival of all terrestrial ecosystems. Despite the fact that India possesses a diverse range of fresh water resources, most systems are under pressure from anthropogenic activity, posing major threats to fish diversity. As a result, conservation and management are vital to the interests of all persons, nations, and governments, and thus the current research. Present research work done from November 2021 to October 2022.  Approximately 17 species were collected and identified during the study of the Borda dam, belonging to 7 orders, 9 families, and 16 genera. Among them, 5 species were belong to the Order Cypriniformes, and Siluriformes each, 3 species to Order Perciformes, while the Orders Osteoglossiformes, Synbranchiformes, Beloniformes and Cichliformes comprises single species. As a result, the findings of our current study will provide significant information about the diversity of fish fauna in the Borda dam, which will be used in the future for monitoring, fisheries management, and conservation.
