A total 11 species which belongs to 3 order and 4 families were recorded from the River Barandu. These Species are Barilius pakistanicus, Triplophysa naziri, Tor putitora, Crossocheilus latius, Schizothorax plagiotomus, Channa gachua, Gara gotyla, Glyptothorax punjabensis, Matacembelus armatus, Puntius sophoreand Schistura punjabensis. Minimum fish species collected belong to family Channidae while maximum fish species collected belong to family Cyprinidae. The widely distributed fish species found in the area was Schizothorax plagiostomus. The population of Schizothorax and Mahasheer are near to extinct due to overhunting and marble pollutants. Marble pollutants also affect the growth of fish in river Barandu. Oil spill is also a great factor which affects the aquatic biota.
