Abstract
Icthyofaunal diversity of species across the Krishna River in Gugal of Deodurga taluk Raichur district was studied from January 2016 to December2017. A total number of thirty six species belonging to nine orders and eleven families were recorded during the study period. The order Cypriniformes was dominant with fourteen (14) followed by order Siluriformes nine (9), Perciformes five (5), Anabantiformes three (3), Beloniformes, Gobiifomes, Cichiofrmes, Synbranchiformes and Osteoglossiformes each with one species. The study also shows that the river is mostly stressed due to anthropogenic activities and over exploitation of fishes throughout the year. It also suggests that some urgent steps and awareness programmes are needed to educate people about the importance of the Krishna River, its biodiversity and fish productivity in the future.
