    (CCSHAU, Hisar, 2023-07) Ambrish Singh; Ravikant
    The study was conducted to assess the plankton diversity and hydrobiological parameters at selected sites of Yamuna river. The plankton diversity and hydrobiological parameters were observed from June to November, 2022. The 96 genera of planktons recorded. Out of this 76 genera of phytoplankton recorded belonging to class Bacillariophyceae, Chlorophyceae, Cyanophyceae, Euglenophyceae, Dianophyceae and 20 genera of zooplankton were recorded belonging to Protozoa, Copepoda, Cladocera, and Rotifera have been identified in all the sampling sites during the study period. Shannon and Weaver diversity index for plankton was reported maximum in Tajewala barrage (1.984) followed by Wazirabad barrage (1.972) and Okhla barrage (1.871). The maximum temperature value recorded during pre-monsoon and minimum in the post-monsoon season was recorded in all the locations. The pH values of water in Tajewala, Wazirabad, and Okhla barrages were recorded from 7.3 to 8.4. The highest electrical conductivity values were observed in the Okhla barrage (1,527.25 μs/cm), followed by the Wazirabad barrage (1,227.75 μs/cm) and the Tajewala barrage (323.75 μs/cm). The DO levels ranged from 5.33 to 6.57 mg/L, 4.13 to 5.25 mg/L, and 1.7 to 3.6 mg/L. Salinity, free carbon dioxide, ammonia, TDS, Bicarbonates, nitrate, nitrite, chloride, calcium and magniseum varied at Tajewala, Wazirabad, and Okhla barrages at different times during the study period. The present investigation shows that the maximum level of presumptive coliform count recorded at Tajewala barrage maximum in November 2022 and lowest in September 2022. At Wazirabad, the barrage was recorded maximum in June and November, months. At Okhla barrage it was maximum recorded in November and lowest in July, August and September. This study revealed that the Tajewala barrage had the highest plankton diversity compared to Wazirabad and Okhla barrages. The water quality parameters measured, including temperature, pH, electrical conductivity, and dissolved oxygen levels, varied across the three barrages, indicating the potential influence of various factors such as industrial and municipal waste disposal and sewerage effluents.

    Assessment of fish species and migratory aquatic birds’ biodiversity in Yamuna river (Haryana)
    (CCSHAU Hisar, 2022-07) Yadav, Shri Ram; Ravikant
    The study was conducted to assess the fish diversity and migratory aquatic birds in the Yamuna river at selected sites. The fish and migratory aquatic birds were monitored from September 2021 to April 2022. The 64 fish species belonging to seven orders and 17 families and 59 bird species belonging to eight orders and fourteen families were recorded in the present investigation. Cypriniformes order and Cyprinidae family were found to be the most dominant. Indian major carp, along with exotic carps and Wallago attu, contribute a significant portion of the fish catch of the Yamuna river in the studied sites. The Order Charadriiformes was dominant, containing 31 per cent of bird species. The family Anatidae was found to be dominant, including 25 per cent of bird species. Out of 59 bird species, 33 species were winter migrants, 16 species were residents, and ten species were local migrants. The twenty-four bird species were very common; 20 were common, eight were rare, and seven were less common in the study area, and out of total bird species, 50% were found to be Least concern (LC). The 17 genera of phytoplankton belonging to four major groups were recorded. Out of 19 genera of zooplankton population, nine genera belonged to (Copepoda), two genera (Rotifera), four genera (Cladocera), and two genera (Protozoa ) recorded. The physicochemical water quality parameters during the present investigation were recorded at the poorest level in April in the Faridabad riverine system. The present study gives enlightening information on fish bio-diversity and assists in understanding the water nature of the Yamuna river. Fish –biodiversity is an indicator of ecosystem health, conservation status and human food resources. The fish biodiversity of the Yamuna river was poor, indicating its water quality. There is a need of the hour to conserve the vulnerable and endangered fauna of the Yamuna river through suitable conservation strategies.

    (CCSHAU, Hisar, 2021-09) Mehta, Pragya; Gajender Singh
    The study was carried out in Ottu reservoir which is situated in Sirsa city of Haryana, India. Evaluation and quantification of fish food organisms and aquatic weeds of Ottu reservoir were monitored from March 2021 to June 2021. The evaluation of the planktonic population revealed that there were 36 genera of plankton recorded. Out of this 19 genera of phytoplankton belongs to class Bacillariophyceae (3 genera), Cyanophyceae (3 genera), Chlorophyceae (11 genera), Euglenophyceae (2 genera) and 17 genera of zooplankton belongs to class Copepoda (9 genera), Rotifera (2 genera), Cladocera (4 genera), and Protozoa (2 genera). In various months maximum, 123 species of phytoplankton were observed in site 2 and site 4 and Chlorophyceae found as dominant group while in zooplankton in various month site 4 showed maximum 391species of zooplankton and Cladocera group found as the dominant group. The highest quantity of plankton was observed in April while the minimum quantity was observed in March. Shannon and Weaver's diversity index for plankton found maximum in site 1(3.35) and minimum in site 4 (3.25). In site 1 and site 2 significant difference (P<0.05) was observed for the phytoplanktons groups present every month from March to June. However, a non-significant difference was observed in site 3 and site 4.Whilst the zooplankton group present in site 1, site 2, site 3, and site 4 from March to June was also found significant. A total of 7 species of aquatic weeds recorded 4species (Eicchornia crassipes, Lamnea minor, Pistia stratiotes and Nympahea alba) belongs to free floating aquatic weeds, 2 species (Ceratophyllum demersum , Hydrilla verticelleta) belongs to submerged aquatic weeds and 1 species (Typha latifolia) belongs to Emergent aquatic weeds. A total of 17 benthic species of benthos identified belongs to 2 phylum viz. annelida (3 species) and mollusca (14 species) and in mollusca 2 class viz. gastropoda and bivalve recorded. Maximum benthic fauna recorded in June.

    Fish biodiversity and physico-chemical parameters of Ottu reservoir in Haryana
    (CCSHAU, Hisar, 2021-09-15) Chandan Singh; Gupta, R. K.
    In the present study, 36 fish species have been recorded from Ottu reservoir which belongs to 26 genera, 12 families and 5 orders. The Cyprinidae family was predominant among the 12 families. The IUCN conservation status of fishes at Ottu reservoir have shown that the most of the species i.e. 61.11% felled under Least Concern (LC) category (22 species) followed by 13.88% under Near Threatened (NT) group (five species) as well as Not Evaluated (NE) group (five species) and the two species found as vulnerable (VU) and one as endangered (EN) i.e. Tor putitora. The study on various physico-chemical properties of Ottu reservoir have shown that the water quality of Ottu reservoir was polluted due to increasing level of organic and inorganic compound which is discharge from the industrial effluents. The most of the water parameters ranged under normal as per optimum value for aquaculture. However, some of them were ranged higher than their optimum value i.e. alkalinity, ammonia, TDS, hardness chloride and salinity indicated that the level of pollution in Ottu reservoir. From the above point of view, it could be concluded that the water of Ottu reservoir need to be treated before its utilization for drinking and should be improved for aquaculture purposes. The soil texture of Ottu reservoir found that 43.33% clay, 21.67% silt and 25% sand which could be fallen under class of clay loamy soil. The soil pH of Ottu reservoir was generally neutral which is ranged from slightly acidic (pH= 6.5) to slightly alkaline (pH= 8) at different sites of Ottu reservoir. The present study gives enlightening information on fish bio-diversity and assists on understanding the water nature of Ottu reservoir. The fish-biodiversity of Ottu reservoir was narrow which indicated the enrichment in fish diversity through improving their water qualities and need to be conserved the vulnerable and endangered fishes of Ottu reservoir through suitable conservation strategies.
