The present study deals with the survey of fish fauna of Durgapur barrage and its adjacent wetland areas with an eye to the physico-chemical conditions. The Durgapur barrage is constructed on river Damodar. This river receives effluents of a huge number of factories, agricultural run off, sewage disposal as well as products of washing of cloths and animals and other activities. Present survey revealed the richness of the Durgapur barrage area in its fish faunal diversity where 36 fish species belonging to 14 families were identified within a span of six months study (December 2010 to May 2011). Study of physico-chemical conditions revealed that fish species thriving at Durgapur barrage and adjacent region are under potential stress from pollution and anthropogenic pressure. Proper environmental management policy is essential for saving this biome and immediate conservation measures should be taken to ensure habitat protection in the Damodar River and its adjacent wetland ecosystem.
