Fishes of the genus Mystus are the members of Bagridae family which occupy an important place in Godavari fishery. Two commonly available species, Mystus vittatus Bloch, 1800 and Mystus cavasius Hamilton, 1822 of River Godavari, Rajahmundry Andhra Pradesh serve as significant hosts for metazoa\n parasites. The present study was aimed to ascertain the population dynamics, community characteristics and the faunal similarity of the two bagridae fishes, Mystus vittatus (n = 116) and Mystus cavasius (n = 94) at both infra and component community level during the 2008-2009.
