India supports about 8.94% of global fish diversity, but the knowledge about their precise identification up to species and area of distribution is inadequate and these lacunae are the impairments to undertake quality research relating to academic and applied fisheries. Most of our knowledge in this regard is based on the works of foreigners who published their work long back. Most of the earlier works need revisions in the light of new taxonomic inputs. Even methods of identification have changed drastically. This book fills the above lacunae. The present book 'Fish Diversity of Punjab State (India)' has the descriptions of 113 fish species belonging to sixty three genera, twenty two families and eight orders occurring in the present day Punjab state. The line diagrams of fishes under report are given high lightening the important morphological and meristic characters. A separate section is devoted to the definitions (with the help of line diagrams) used for describing the fish species. All relevant synonyms of the species are cited to trace the nomenclature history of the each fish species. Conservation status and conservation strategies of the evaluated fish species along with zoogeographical distribution of most of the fish species have also been discussed. This book will be extremely useful for the identification of most of the freshwater fish species inhabiting the waters of north Indian states and neighboring countries like Pakistan, Nepal and Bangladesh and shall promote the academic and applied fisheries research.
