Highlights
The Ganga is the largest river among the rivers originating from the Himalayan region in northern India
Functional feeding groups at family level (Tables 1-3) are summarized and figured for 51 taxa found in River Ganga at Patna, based on the qualitative composition of benthic fauna (Fig. 1)
How to identify invasive species (Neozoa) among benthic Macro-invertebrates in the River Ganga? Neozoa are numerously reported among the aquatic invertebrates of many large rivers all over the northern hemisphere
Summary
The river section in Bihar is one of the few natural and free-flowing large rivers in south Asia. It is a water resource for one of the world’s most fertile plains with pristine river morphology. This river is an irreplaceable unique habitat for the endangered Gangetic dolphin, Platanista gangetica. BENTHIC MACRO-INVERTEBRATE FAUNA & “MARINE ELEMENTS” OF RIVER GANGA - INDIA gangetica (Roxburgh 1801) and many other endemic and endangered species. Reference data were available for several invertebrate groups only through Datta Munshi et al (1988), Sharan & Sinha (1988), Sinha (1988) and Subba Rao (1989) from the localities near Patna. Systematic investigations have been conducted for several gastropods e.g. Stenothyridae and Physidae (Sinha & Sharma 2001; Sinha et al, 2003), bivalves (Nesemann et al, 2003, Nesemann et al, 2005) and Annelids (Nesemann et al, 2004)
