Abstract
Fish recruitment into Keoladeo National Park (KNP) with incoming water was examined for a period of three years -- 2003 to 2005. In total, 24 species were recorded during the survey. Six species were recorded as new records to KNP, and five species as new to the state of Rajasthan. None of the species reported from KNP till date are Critically Endangered as per the IUCN Red List. The species new to the KNP are Cyprinus carpio communis, Brachydanio albolineatus, Danio dangila, Securicula gora, Clarias gariepinus and Mystus tengara, while those new to the Rajasthan state are Brachydanio albolineatus, Clarias gariepinus, Danio dangila, Mystus tengara and Securicula gora. The present investigation has increased the number of fish species known from KNP to 58 belonging to 15 families and 39 genera. This revised list as a result of both loss and addition in number of species in KNP draws attention for a thorough review on the prevailing anthropogenic pressures in the catchment.
