A study on the landings of various species recorded randomly from December 2003 to June 2004 from fish landing and marketing centers on the Ken at Banda, on the Paisuni at Karwi and Tons at Chakghat and Sadiapur (Prayagraj), revealed that the average catch day-1 of the Ken river was dominated by Cyprinus carpio followed by Aorichthys spp. and miscellaneous fish. In contrast the Paisuni R. was dominated by Labeo calbasu followed byHypophthalmichthys molitrix and miscellaneous while the latter group dominated over Aorichthys spp and L. calbasu in the Tons R.
