Conservation Status of Ichthyofauna of Baghel Taal, A Wetland of District Bahraich (U. P.), India
Subject area: Science,Engineering and Technology · Area of research: Zoology
Abstract
An attempt was made to study the conservation status of the fishes naturally occurring in Semara taal, a naturally occurring wetland near Shohratgarh of Siddharthnagar district of Uttar Pradesh. The study was conducted during September,2018 to August 2019. During exploration, a total of 35 species of fishes belonging to 23 genera, 17 families and 8 orders were identified. As per latest version of IUCN Red List, out of 35 species of fishes identified, 2 species comes under EN (endangered), 4 species come under NT (near threatened), 23 under LC (least concern) and 6 species are NE (not evaluated) so far.
