STUDY ON ICHTHYOFAUNAL DIVERSITY IN RELATION TO PHYSICO-CHEMICAL PARAMETERS OF MANAKONDUR FRESH WATER LAKE OF KARIMNAGAR DISTRICT, TELANGANA STATE, INDIA

Freshwater bodies are one of the most common and stable habitats biosphere. The freshwater have their own physico-chemical biological characters which subjected to modify by local conditions physiographic features. water quality parameters a great influence on growth other factors aquatic organisms. Therefore, lentic body gives good source for fisheries. present investigation deals with limnological Ichthyofauna abundance in Manakondur fresh Lake at Karimnagar District, Telangana State. study was carried out period year i.e., from June, 2020 May, 2021.The focused determination hydro-chemical such as Water temperature(19.0-31.0ºC),Transparency(18.50-44.30cm),TDS(200-350mg/l),PH(7.5-8.3),DO(5.2-12.0mg/l),Co2 (3.0-9.2mg/l),TH(110-210mg/l),TA(165-300mg/l),CL(35.00-50.20mg/l),Po4 (0.02-0.16mg/l),No3 (0.02-0.14mg/l) BOD(2.5-7.0mg/l).The made recorded fish fauna available. Total 33 species fishes were collected identified during belongs 6 orders, 12 families 18 genera. order Cypriniformes dominant 15 species, followed Siluriformes (8 species), Osteoglosiformes(2 Perciformes(4 Channiformes(3 species) Antherniformes(1 identified. Order wise percentage composition is (17%), Siluroformes (34%), (Osteoglossiformes(8%), Perciformes (25%), Channiformes (8%), Anthrniformes (8%) In light recent literature, data has been discussed it concluded that this reservoir comply suitability human consumption favourable fishery.
