Study on Fish biodiversity of some landing sites and markets of Barpeta District, Assam, India
Abstract
In a study conducted in the Barpeta district of Assam, India, 60 species of fishes belonging to 9 orders and 23 families were identified. Data collection was done by survey of landing sites and markets and information collected from fishermen.
