In total 60 species of belonging to 8 orders, 17 families and 37 genera were recorded from the study area. Among these, Cypriniformes topped the list with 1 family with 14 genera and 27 species and least by Synbranchiformes (1 family with 2 genera and 2 species) followed by Mugiliformes (1 family with 1 genus and 1 species). The results of the present study indicated that Pechiparai reservoir, Kanyakumari district in Tamil Nadu is endowed with rich fish biodiversity. Keywords: Pechiparai reservoir, fish fauna, cyprinidae, occurrence, abundance 1. Introduction Tamilnadu is endowed with rich freshwater fish diversity. Daming and channelization across the rivers and streams affected on upstream and downstream migration of migratory species proper migrating passages requisite to provided (Mogalekar et al., 2017) [16]. The inland fisheries resources of India are vast and comprise of river systems with tributaries and distributaries, network of canals crisscrossing the country, scores of natural lakes, a large number of man-made reservoirs, estuaries and lagoons [5]. There are 19,370 reservoirs spread over in 15 states, covering an area of 3.15 million ha in India. The area is expected to grow further to 6 million ha (Desai, 2008) [5] in due course of time (25 years). Reservoirs in India are prime resources for capture fisheries and extensive aquaculture. They cover a total area of 3.15 million ha, out of which small reservoirs occupy 1.49 million ha followed by large (1.14 million ha) and medium (0.52 million ha) ones [6]. The low fish yield from reservoirs is mainly due to unscientific management practices resulting from the inadequate knowledge of the ecology, production functions and biodiversity of the systems (Dixitulu, 2010) [6]. Actually, the systematic reservoir fishery investigations were initiated by Central Inland Fisheries Research Institute (CIFRI), Barrackpore as early as in The institute took up a detailed study of fisheries of Tungabhadra reservoir in Karnataka and Damodar Valley Corporation reservoirs (Konar, Tilaiya and Panchet) in Bihar. Later, an All India Coordinated Research Project on Ecology and Fisheries of fresh water reservoirs was launched by ICAR through CIFRI [5-7]. Dam is a man-made ecosystem that alters the ecology of upper reaches of the river. Ecologically, migratory fishes are affected the dam [16]. This natural run off is cut down from the point of dam construction. This often leads to disturbances in the ecosystem especially with fish community of the upper reaches. The reservoir itself may affect the ecology of the lower reaches of the river. Periodical discharge of sediments from the reservoirs may cause settling of mud and silt in the lower reaches with serious consequences on the fauna and flora [8]. Reservoir acts as fertility traps, reducing the amount of dissolved plant nutrients which would otherwise be freely arriving at the lower reaches. Besides adding fertility and subsequently to fish production, they offer employment opportunities particularly to the people around, with a means of livelihood. While aquaculture in small water bodies such as ponds is capital intensive, development of fisheries in reservoirs, a culture based capture activity, is labour intensive [8]. In other words, the reservoir is an ecosystem where fluviatile and lentic conditions coexist. In reservoir, the quality of impounded water varies from watershed to watershed, and even within the same watershed depending on the soil, climate and human activities. It also varies with shape of the reservoir basin, photoperiod, wind action and quality of water [6-7]. ~ 171 ~

2 Biodiversity refers to the variety and variability among organisms and ecosystem complexes in which they occur [31]. It includes diversity of forms right from the molecular unit to the individual organisms and then to the populations, communities, ecosystem, landscapes and biosphere [32]. When fluviatile conditions are altered by dam construction, the native fauna, especially the aquatic organisms, are altered [30]. Some species dwindle, some become endangered and some disappear. However a few less desirable species preponderate and bio-diversity is greatly affected. After construction of dams in the upper reaches, some important indigenous species decrease or disappear. Productivity of a reservoir is dependent on its biogenic capacity to transform solar energy into chemical energy. The energy fixed at primary producer level passes through trophic chain and a fraction of it ends up as fish flesh. Therefore, the structure of different food biotic communities (trophic dynamics) assumes great significance to reservoir fisheries management [31]. Exposed to the warm tropical climate, the water bodies in India are extremely productive and they harbor an enviable spectrum of fish genetic resources [25]. Optimum utilization of these resources can lead to a manifold increase in inland fish production, earning the country a place among the top inland fish producing nations of the world. As a result of the construction of dams under various multipurpose river valley projects, a number of fresh water impoundments have come into existence [30-32]. The main problem in developing the fisheries of reservoirs has been, inadequate stocking of advanced fingerlings, stocking of small sized fingerlings, skewed proportion of stocked fingerlings and inappropriate release of fingerlings at a specific place and time. In many of the small and big reservoirs, tilapia has become a dominant species in several reservoirs with landings comprising smallsized fishes. The love among the people for the exotics has found another niche and reservoirs are being stocked with silver carp, grass carp and common carp to the detriment of indigenous fauna. Regional preferences and biodiversity issues have not been borne in mind while developing the reservoir fisheries. It is time that fast growing local species with a consumer preference and high economic value are also stocked with efforts to produce their seed close to the reservoir concerned. Commercial fishing in all reservoirs must be regulated with a strict rider on fishing effort and mesh size [24]. Pechiparai dam in the Kanyakumari District of Tamil Nadu is one among four dams in Kodayar irrigation project and was constructed during the period from 1896 to 1906 by a British Engineer, Alexander Humphrey Minchin for Travancore Government during the reign of Srimoolam Thirunaal Maharaja. Pechiparai reservoir is located at Pechiparai village, 43 km from Nagarcoil town in Kanyakumari district of. The reservoir was built across the Kodayar river about 1.6 km below the confluence of the Kallar, Chittar and Kuttiyar tributaries. The catchment area of the reservoir is km 2 and the average depth is about m. The objective of the study is to provide the updated checklist of fish species available in Pechiparai reservoir, Kanyakumari district of Tamil Nadu. 2. Materials and methods 2.1 Study site description Pechipparai reservoir is the largest impoundment in Kanyakumari district (Latitude 8º N, Longitude 77º E) and the streams of this reservoir are rich in indigenous varieties of freshwater fishes. Morphometric and hydrodynamic features of Pechiparai reservoir include length of the dam (1821 feet); mean depth (32.5 feet); catchment area ( hectares); water holding capacity in full (14200 million cubic feet) and lowest water holding capacity (4350 million cubic feet). 2.2 Fish sampling design Fishes were collected from Pechiparai reservoir, kanyakumari district with the help of local fisherman using different types of nets like gill net, drag net and cast net and hook at the regular intervals from April 2016 to May After collection, fishes were preserved in 10% formaldehyde solution; larger fishes were given injection of same solution in their abdomen and other parts of the body to avoid bacterial contamination. Each container was labeled properly against the physical data sheet of sampling and brought to the laboratory for identification and species confirmation by using keys like Talwar and Jhingran (1991); Jayaram (2010) and fish base. The different species recorded during the research work were checked for International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN 2015 version ) and Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES) in order to assess conservation status fish species [9-10]. 3. Results During the study, 60 species belonging to 8 orders, 17 families and 37 genera were recorded and reported. Among these, Cypriniformes topped the list with 1 family with 14 genera and 27 species followed by Siluriformes (4 family with 5 genera and 11 species); Perciformes (4 family with 6 genera and 9 species); Cyprinodontiformes (2 family with 3 genera and 5 species); Beloniformes (3 family with 3 genera and 3 species); Anguilliformes (1 family with 1 genera and 2 species); Synbranchiformes (1 family with 2 genera and 2 species) and Mugiliformes (1 family with 1 genera and 1 species).

7 4. Discussion Prateek et al [25] reported that seventeen species of freshwater fishes belonging to 8 families and 11 genera followed by Chrispin et al [5] recorded 13 fishes commonly available from the same reservoir dealt in this study (i.e. Pechiparai reservoir, Kanyakumari district, Tamil Nadu) yet the current study reveals an updated species checklist. The present ichthyofaunal study was found in the line as same as Sen from North eastern states of India that includes Manipur; Meghalaya; Mizoram; Nagaland and Tripura [27] ; Dua and Parkash from Punjab [7] ; Verma and Murmu from Jharkhand [34] ; Vats and Gupta from Haryana [33] ; Singh et al, Uchchariya et al, Yousuf et al, Vyas and Vishwakarma and Shiv et al. [35-39] from Madhya Pradesh [28, 29] ; Niraj and Singh (2013) [21] and Kumar (2015) [12] from the state of Bihar; Baro et al. from Assam [2, 3] ; Choubey and Qureshi (2013) [4] ; Mondal et al. [19] Pandey et al [22], Sahu [27] ; Patel et al. [23, 24] and Shrivastav and Singh [32] from Chhattisgarh; Mogalekar et al. reported the same from Southern India that includes Tamil Nadu [17], Kerala [14, 15], Karnataka [16] and Andhra Pradesh [18]. Yet, Behera and Nayak reported that the order Perciformes has emerge as most dominant group and next to order Cypriniformes with the 20 species under 12 families as distribution in Chilika lagoon [3] followed by Khan et al study from River Sone reveals that the Order - Siluriformes (16 species) was dominant followed by Cypriniformes (15 species), Perciformes (07 species), Mastacembeliformes, Clupeiformes (02 species each) and Beloniformes (01 species) has some slight variation from the current study [11, 12]. In this present study, the family Cyprinidae dominated with a numerical strength of 27 species (45%) followed by Siluriformes with 11 species (18%). The results were on par with the species recorded by Murugan et al in Periyakulam riverine wetland, Kanyakumari district [20]. Prateek et al [25 concluded that 17 species were identified from Pechiparai reservoir, Kanyakumari district were found to be ornamental value and nine species among the identified species has food values [30-39]. The current study reveals the highest in terms of numbers pertaining to identification of fish species and hence updated checklist for the reservoir has been provided (Table 1). 5. References 1.
