Abstract
The fish production plays a significant role in the human economy. India has vast potential for development of inland fisheries. In the present study an attempt has been made to evaluate the physico-chemical characteristic features and fish fauna diversity of Nagaram tank, located at sub urban of Warangal. It proposed to enhancement of fish production in a sub urban perennial water body in Warangal district of Andhra Pradesh. The study was conducted during June 2007 to May 2010. The study revealed that different regions of the tank receive variable precipitation and hence meteorological factors governing the physico-chemical properties of the tank which in turn influence planktonic diversity and so that all the physico-chemical and biological factors have direct influence on the fish production. From the present study, it observed that all the physico-chemical parameters are at nearly permissible limit at all the 4 identified stations. It is estimated that the fish fauna of Nagaram tank consists of 30 species belonging to 13 families. Among the collections 13 species of Cypriniformes, order Siluriformes consists of 7 species, Channiformes consists of 03 species, Perciformes 05 species, Osteoglossiformes 01 and order Atheriniformes consists of one species. Therefore, it is suggested that the immediate measures may be taken to avoid further contamination of this tank which has been started contaminated due to anthropological activities. Finally it may be concluded that the Nagaram tank is rich in fish diversity and is still in a position to set a good example of conservation of native fish fauna by the sustainable management practices.
