ANNEXURE XVII
PRIORITISATION OF THE INDIAN FISHES FOR CONSERVATION
Basis for categorisation:
Based on interaction with scientists, review of literature and personal observations. NBFGR had initially prepared an exhaustive list of species from cold and warm freshwater as potential fishes for listing under threatened species. From the papers presented at the national seminar on endangered species of India, a list of 98 species from freshwater, brackish water and marine ecosystems was prepared. Both the lists were tailed and by adopting he broad categorisation given by Ponniah (1993), a list of 76 threatened fishes of India according to ecosystem and conservation status was prepared as given in Table 1. Of these, 50 have been listed as indeterminate since at present adequate information is not available to exactly categorise them.
