Abstract
Dagadparwa dam serves as an important ecologically
significant freshwater biological hotspot within the Akola district. The
present study assessed the ichthyofaunal diversity within the freshwater
ecosystem of Dagadparwa dam from period of March 2024 to September 2024.
Identification of fish was performed and carried out by using recognized
standard taxonomic keys in appropriate standard literature with emphasis on external
morphological features, traits and fin formulae. Based on the identification, a
total of six species were documented during the study period. These species
belonged to the orders Channiformes, Siluriformes, Cypriniformes, Cichliformes
and were represented by the families Channidae, Siluridae, Cyprinidae,
Cichlidae. The findings provide a baseline reference for understanding the fish
diversity of Dagadparwa dam and contribute to regional biodiversity
documentation.
