Biodiversity of Fishes in Kanpur

  • 1. D.G. College, Kanpur.

Description

Kanpur, a bustling city situated on the banks of the Ganges River, has amassed 
a diverse collection of aquatic fish species. This abstract delves into the intricate web of 
ecological interactions and conservation challenges surrounding the fishes of Kanpur. 
Through a thorough research spanning a lot of months and review of existing literature, 
this study will bring to light the remarkable richness and distribution patterns of fishes 
inhabiting Kanpur's aquatic ecosystems. Despite their ecological significance, Kanpur’s 
fish populations face multifaceted threats including habitat degradation, pollution and 
over fishing, thus the result ie.  the risk of species declines and loss. This abstract 
underscore the urgency of conservation efforts, advocating for the safe management 
strategies that prioritize habitat restoration, pollution control, and sustainable fisheries 
practices. By combining scientific research with community engagement and policy 
interventions, we can endeavor towards safeguarding the invaluable biodiversity of 
fishes in Kanpur for generations to come.
