Abstract :
The Hasanpur Barahi swamp (locally known as "chour") in Madhepura district, Bihar, represents a unique freshwater ecosystem supporting a rich diversity of ichthyofauna. This study aims to document and assess the fish species inhabiting this wetland, analyzing their diversity and ecological significance. Monthly surveys were conducted over a year, employing both traditional and modern sampling techniques. A total of 34 fish species belonging to 7 orders and 14 families were recorded. Cyprinidae was the most dominant family, followed by Siluridae and Channidae. The study highlights the need for sustainable management and conservation efforts due to increasing anthropogenic pressures.
