This study describes the length-weight relationship (LWR) and condition factor for three important freshwater fish species (Garra mcclenlandi, Danio aequipinnatus and Crossochelius latis) collected from drainage system of Mon, Nagaland, India from 2022 to 2023. During survey a total of 278 specimens of mixed population were examined. 95% confidence level of b values (regression coefficient) of Length-Weight Relationship (LWR) ranged from 2.3616 - 3.1485 indicating positive allometric pattern of growth for D. aequipnnatus, while G. mcclenlandi and C. latis showed negative allometric growth. The highest condition factor (k) 1.0993 was observed in D. aequipnnatus, lowest in G. mcclenlandi with 0.8126 while r2 > 0.90 for all the three species.
The present study was conducted to document the fish fauna and their IUCN status of Chessore sub-division of Shamator, Nagaland for a period of one year, from May 2023 - April 2024 covering the targeted areas. The survey reveals the presence of 20 species belonging to 5 orders, 9 families and 15 genera. The order Cypriniformes dominanted with 14 species while Anabantiformes, Perciform and Synbranchiformes with 1 species each is the least common. According to IUCN Red-list and habitat studies during different seasons, one species belonging to family cyprinidae is under IUCN-NT category, five species belonging to cyprinidae, channidae and cobitidae is under IUCN-VU while the rest falls under IUCN-LC and Data deficient (DD) category. A primary threat to the fish biodiversity in study area is due to anthropogenic activities and environmental changes.
