Fish Diversity and Water Quality Dynamics in Chandrashekhar Azad Dam, Fata, Alirajpur (M.P.)

Abstract This study presents a comprehensive assessment of fish species diversity and key physicochemical characteristics of water in the Chandrashekhar Azad Dam, situated in Fata, District Alirajpur, Madhya Pradesh. Sampling was conducted seasonally across one year (July 2024–June 2025) at four designated sites. Water quality parameters—including temperature, pH, dissolved oxygen, transparency, alkalinity, hardness, phosphate, free CO₂, conductivity, and BOD—were analysed to determine their ecological influence on fish communities.
A total of 23 fish species belonging to six orders and ten families were documented. Cypriniformes dominated the assemblage with 15 species (65.21%), followed by Ophiocephaliformes (17.39%). Correlation analyses revealed notable interactions among parameters, such as strong positive associations between alkalinity and hardness (r = 0.88), alkalinity and BOD (r = 0.80), temperature and hardness (r = 0.84), and pH and alkalinity (r = 0.79). Transparency exhibited negative correlations with phosphate (r = –0.78) and pH (r = –0.74), highlighting seasonal influences on water clarity. Overall, the findings suggest that seasonal variation in water chemistry significantly structures fish distribution within the reservoir.
The reservoir was found to be moderately to highly productive and capable of sustaining diverse fisheries resources. The study emphasises the need for systematic monitoring, regulated nutrient input, and ecological management for sustaining fish diversity and reservoir productivity.
