Mass mortality of fish was observed in the morning on 02-02-2011 in winter monomictic Surinsar lake, Jammu and has been reported. Maximum count of dead fish was shared by Puntius spp. (P. ticto, P. conchonius and P. sophore). Other dead fishes of family Cyprinidae include Rasbora rasbora, Esomus danrica and Cyprinus carpio communis. A few dead specimens of air breathing Heteropneustes fossilis and Channa punctatus were also seen. In the present paper, possible causes of fish kill have been described.
