Abstract

Cyprinoid fishes are the most common freshwater fishes in India.  They are copiously dispersed in diverse freshwater bodies of Kerala, Tamil Nadu, Karnataka and its neighbouring states of India.  They are broadly used as ornamental and food fishes; some large fish species are utilized as game fishes.  Puntius, Pethia, Systomus, Salmostoma, Haludaria, Dawkinsia, Barilius, Hypselobarbus, Labeo, Garra, etc are the major cyprinoid genera of south India; of these, Puntius, Dawkinsia, Barilius and Hypselobarbus preponderate in all catches from water bodies of south India. During this research work, ichthyodiversity and taxonomic studies were conducted on various species of cyprinoid fish species of Karnataka state, India. Different species of cyprinoid fishes were collected from several rivers of the state; most of the collections were from the Cauvery River and its tributaries; many cyprinoids were procured from Bhadra River, Tunga River, Nethravathi River and Payaswini River at Karnataka.    Their essential taxonomic details such as meristic counts, morphometric characters and other diagnostic features were analysed.
