Diversity of fish of Shnebaye Stream with new record of Barilius bendelisis for the first time in district Karak and their water, soil physiochemical analysis with respect to fish breed from district Karak, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Pakistan

Abstract

The aim of the presentrnresearch work was to find out the diversity of fish fauna and theirrnphysiochemical study during their breeding season. Shnebaye stream is presentrnin the hilly area and high range of hills around the stream is present. Thernfresh water stream Shnebaye also contains different microscopic plants in whichrnspirogyra is very important because it is used as a food component. During thernpresent study five species of the family cyprinidae were Bariliusbendelisis, Labeorohita,rnCirrhiniusmrigala, Catlacatla, and Hypoph tha lmichthysmo litrix, werernbelonging to kingdom animalia, phylum chordate, class actinopterygii and orderrncypriniforms were identified upto species level. The soil and water of shnebayernstream were analyzed for physiochemical and found satisfactory for the survivalrnof aquatic organism.
