The study has been conducted to assess the fish biodiversity profile in one of the largest reservoir in Gondia district; literally there is no report on the fish biodiversity in this reservoir. Authors have tried to document fish biodiversity. The population of fishes is found in abundance and majority of the fishes are exploited for human consumption. About 35 fish species belonging to 6 order and 16 families were recorded during study. The major carps, common carps, cat fishes and eel fishes are abundant.
