- Abstract
Fishery resources of the region were assessed and resource maps were prepared using remote sensing and Geographical Information System (GIS). The total lentic and lotic water resources estimated were 132484.7 km2 and 5192.7 km, respectively. A total of 26 fish species were recorded from the rivers of the Ladakh division. Of which 23 fish species belonging to 4 families and 14 genera from Indus, 11 fish species belonging to 3 families and 9 genera from Zanskar and 12 fish species belonging to 2 families and 8 genera from Shayok river. It was also observed that variation in water quality parameters influences the distribution and abundance of fish species. Schizothoraichthys, Diptychus (Cyprinidae) and Triplophysa (Nemacheilidae) constitute the major fishery of the rivers.
