Pagara dam is situated on Asan river at about 15 Km from Jaura town of Morena District of Madhya Pradesh. The dam was constructed for the irrigation of the nearby villages. But, at present, the water of the dam is also used for drinking purposes. The water of the dam is also used for fish culture by fishery department and local fishermen. Fish diversity of water bodies depends on various factors such as geographical position, varied aquatic ecological conditions and health of aquatic bodies. The present work was undertaken to study of fish diversity of Pagara reservoir. A total of twenty-one (21) fish species were recorded during the study. The identified fishes belonged to major carp, minor carp, catfish and local fishes. All fish were freshwater fish. The order Cypriniformes was the most dominant one.
