Abstract

The aim of this research to investigate the diversity, physiochemical analysis, and morphometric measurement of fish fauna of Khudo Khail stream District Buner Pakistan. The present study was conducted on the Khudo Khail stream District Buner during the period of October 2019 to October 2020 to explore the fish fauna of Khudo Khail stream. The study was conducted in 7 different localities in Khudo Khail stream that is Bato, Kalaan, Dambaray, Dhandar, Baba Berr, Qasam Khail and Totalai. During the study 94 specimens were together from the collection points. The collections were taxonomically treated in the result of 9 species of fish under 5 orders, 6 families and 9 genera. The species were Barilius pakistanicus (Mirza and Sadiq, 1978),Cyprinus carpio (Linnaeus, 1758), Channa punctata (Bloch, 1993), Cyprinion watsoni (Day, 1872), Mystus bleekeri (Francis Day, 1877),Oreochromis mossambicus (W. K. H. Peters, 1852),Pinctus ticto (Hamilton, 1822),Wallagu attu (Bloch and Schneider, 1801) and Matacembelus armatus (Lacepede, 1800). The water quality parameters of the Khudo Khail stream were also analyzed and were found to be suitable for the survival of the fish fauna. It was found that the fish fauna of Khudo Khail stream is very rich.
