During hydrobiologicals studies of Gandhinagar reservoir some fishes were collected having morphological abnormality and Epizootic Ulcerative Syndrome. Seven species of fishes such as Catla catla, Labeo rohita, L. calbasu, Cirrhinus mrigala, Mystus seenghala, M. aor and Wellago attu were infected severely.
