Abstract

The study was conducted to assess the ichthyofaunal (fish) diversity profile in Karanja, Washim District (M.S.), over a six-month period from June to November 2024. The population of the Cyprinidae family was found to be the most abundant and is commonly used for human consumption. Additionally, major carps, common carps, and catfishes were observed in satisfactory numbers. During this investigation, 24 fish species belonging to 6 orders and 9 families were recorded. The Cyprinidae family remained dominant, representing a successful example of fish conservation and sustainable management. However, area-specific conservation action plans are necessary to protect the threatened fish species in this region
