Abstract
The present study was conducted to assess the fish diversity and production potential of Kakad Dhaba Dam, Hingoli District, Maharashtra, during January 2022 to December 2023. A total of 15 fish species belonging to 13 genera, 7 families, and 5 orders were recorded. Among these, the order Cypriniformes was dominant, comprising 7 species, followed by Siluriformes with 4 species, Channiformes with 2 species, and one species each from Mastacembeliformes and Perciformes. The fish production of the dam was estimated at 288,824 kg in 2022 and 284,340 kg in 2023. Correspondingly, the annual productivity was calculated as 68.57 kg/ha/yr in 2022 and 57.14 kg/ha/yr in 2023. The findings highlight the dam as a potential source of diverse fish fauna and a significant contributor to local fisheries. Sustainable management practices are essential to conserve this diversity while maintaining fish yield for socio-economic benefits.
