Abstract

The present study was carried out to investigate seasonal distribution and relative abundance of fish fauna of a small hill stream Dangchaura (Takoli) Gad along with river Alaknanda. The differences in availability of fish-fauna were directly related to the nature of profile and slope of tributary; which affects the migration and breeding grounds of the fishes inhabited in the main river Alaknanda.
