Abstract:
Kalinga Dal reservoir fish faunal diversity was studied two consequent years from February-2016 to January-2018.

According to IUCN (2017-3) 82.47% species of fish were least concerned (LC), 7.02% near threatened, 5.26% not evaluate (NE), 1.75% data deficient (DD), endangered (ED) and vulnerable (VU).
