Introduction: Region of the study :The Coochbehar District is situated in the foothills of the Eastern Himalayas in West Bengal. The district town Cooch Behar is the only planned town in North Bengalregion with remnants of royal heritage. It is one of the main tourist destinations in West Bengal, especially for the Cooch Behar Palace and Madan Mohan Temple, andhas been declared a heritage town [Source: Wikipedia]. Before 28th August 1949, Cooch Behar was a Princely State ruled by the king of Cooch Behar, who had been afeudatory ruler under British Government. Cooch Behar was transferred and merged with the province of West Bengal on 19th January, 1950 and from that date CoochBehar emerged as a new District in the administrative map of West Bengal [Source : NIC, District Coochbehar]. The major religions followed in Cooch Beharare Hinduism, followed by Islam; Christianity and Sikhism. The religious composition is closely linked with that of Bengal and Assam with 76.44% Hindus and 23.34%Muslims. Communities that inhabit Cooch Behar include the Bengalis, Rajbangsi, Gorkha, Marwaris and Biharis. Commonly spoken languages include Bengali and Hindi.English and Assamese are understood by most of the people [Source : Wikipedia].

Geology and geographyCooch Behar district lies between 25°57'47" & 26°36'20" North Latitude [Source : District Census Handbook, 1961]. It is located at the North-Eastern part of WestBengal; bounded by the districts of Alipurduar in the north and Jalpaiguri in the north-west, state of Assam in the east (bounded by the districts of Kokrajhar & Dhubri

in Assam) and the International Border in the form of Indo-Bangladesh boundary in the south-west, south and south-east. The Area of the district is 3387 sq. Km, whichcontributes 3.82% of the land mass of the State of West Bengal [Source: NIC, District Coochbehar].

Cooch Behar is essentially a flat country with a slight south-eastern slope along which the main rivers of the district flow. Most of the high lands appertain toSitalkuchi area and most of the low lands lie in Dinhata area. The soil is alluvial of very recent formation. It is mostly sandy and loose. The surface soil is loam andhardly any good clay is found [Source: NIC, District Coochbehar].

The rivers flow in a slanting course from north-west to south-east. Six river systems cut through the district flowing in a south-easterly direction. From the west toeast these are: the Tista system, Jaldhaka system, Torsa, Kaljani, Raidak and Gadadhar system.

Heavy rains in Coochbehar often cause strong river currents and flooding. The turbulent water carries huge amounts of sand, silt, and pebbles, which have anadverse effect on crop production as well as on the hydrology of the region. Alluvial deposits form the soil, which is acidic. Soil depth varies from 15 cm to 50 cm,superimposed on a bed of sand. The foundation materials are igneous and metamorphic rocks at a depth 1000 m to 1500 m. The soil has low levels of nitrogen withmoderate levels of potassium and phosphorus. Deficiencies of boron, zinc, calcium, magnesium, and sulphur are high [Source : Wikipedia].

ClimateFive distinct seasons (summer, monsoons, autumn, winter and spring) can be observed in Cooch Behar, of which summer, monsoons and winter are more prominent.Cooch Behar has a moderate climate characterized by heavy rainfall during the monsoons and slight rainfall from October to mid-November. The district does not havehigh temperatures at any time of the year. The summer season is from April, the hottest month, to May. During the summer season, the mean daily maximumtemperature is 36.5 °C, and the mean daily minimum is 20.2 °C. The winter season lasts from the end of November to February; January is the coldest, whentemperature ranges between 10.4 °C and 24.1 °C. The lowest and highest temperatures recorded have been 3.9 °C and 39.9 °C respectively. The atmosphere is highlyhumid throughout the year except from February to May, when relative humidity is around 50 to 70 percent. The rainy season lasts from June to September. Averageannual rainfall in the district is 3,201mm. However, the climate has undergone a drastic change in the past few years, with the mercury rising and the rainfalldecreasing each year [Source : Wikipedia].

A highly humid atmosphere and abundant rains characterise the climate of this district, with the temperature being seldom excessive. The Period from June tobeginning-of-October is south-west monsoon season. October to mid-November constitutes post monsoon season. Cold season being November to February and hotseason being March to May [Source: NIC, District Coochbehar].

January is the coldest month with temperature varying between 5°C to 28°C, April is the hottest month with mean maximum temperature of 31°C and meanminimum temperature of 20°C(as per 2012 data). Lowest temperature up to 5°C and maximum temperature up to 37°C have been recorded in the year 2012. Theatmosphere is highly humid throughout the year except February to May when relative humidity is as less as 50 to 70% [Source: NIC, District Coochbehar].

MapsThe district of Cooch Behar comprises five sub-divisions namely Cooch Behar Sadar, Dinhata , Mathabhanga , Tufanganj and Mekhliganj subdivision. A district mapshowing the sub-divisions and the blocks was presented in the next page and a map showing the major rivers and roads was attached after that page [Courtesy: NIC,District Coochbehar & Wikipedia].

Methods of surveys (including the frequency of visits)

Survey methods (1 to 8 points) were exclusively followed as directed by the West Bengal Biodiversity Board in its approval letter No. 241/3K(Bio)-2/2013 dated22/04/2013. However stress was given to the interview of the local knowledgeable fisherman about the selection of the survey spots. Conventional different types offishing gears e.g. gill nets, cast nets, dip nets, drag nets etc. were used and expert fishermen were engaged to capture the fishes from various spots. After capturing routinephotography and proper preservation (Bagra and Das, 2010) were followed as per conventional method. Identification was done by identifying their general body form,morphometric and meristic characteristics by consulting literature like Talwar and Jhingran (1991), Jayaram (1999), Viswanath (2000), Bhattacharyya (2007) and Chanda(2013). For valid scientific name FishBase website was consulted and to evaluate conservation status and trends IUCN websites were surfed.

Regarding the frequency of visiting the spots surveyor tried to visit all the spots routinely at least once in three months except those spots which were dries up in latewinter. Stress was given to those spots where chances of getting the varieties of fishes are more. In those cases frequency of visiting the spots is either weekly / bi-weekly.All these survey protocols were considered after a pilot survey and consulting the local knowledgeable persons / fishermen.

Executive Summary:The topography and vegetation of Cooch Behar District is very similar to that of North East India which is a hotspot of biodiversity. Fishes are one of a major

integral part of Bengalis’ diet & lifestyle; it is also found a special mention in Bengali literature. Agarwal’s (2006) findings suggested that more than 80% of the Bengalipopulation were fish-eaters, and an average Bengali has consumed fish about 320 days out of the year. The decline in abundance and distribution of fishes are indicative ofdying fish species. Natural factors like alteration of river flow, sedimentation and anthropogenic factors like water pollution, large scale fishing and use of non-conventionalfishing gears, etc. indicates that the natural ecological functioning of the system is at risk.

Fishery research in the 18th and 19th centuries was purely restricted to systematic. A number of authors published creditable accounts of fish species available inIndia, the major publications being Cuvier (1817), Hamilton (1807, 1822), Cuvier and Valenciennes (1828–1849), Heckel (1838), McClelland (1839, 1842), Jerdon (1849),Bleeker (1853, 1854, 1863), Gunther (1868), Day (1865, 1873, 1889), Alcock (1898), and Blanford (1901).

British surveyors Shaw and Shebbeare first tabulated the 131 fish species from North Bengal in the year 1937 (Shaw & Shebbeare, 1937). JRB Alfred, director ofthe Zoological Survey of India, had presented a complete list of flora and fauna including freshwater fish of the state of West Bengal. Rajguru (2003) reported the presenceof Rohita, Magura, Kavai, Chenga, Chengalia, Ilish, Chital, Barali, and Tengar fish species in the reverine system. Sen (1992) recorded 172 fresh water fish species from thestate of West Bengal.

There are few researchers published their findings of the ithchyofaunal diversities of various waterbodies of North Bengal. Such as Banerjee et al. (2009) recorded71 fish species from different rivers in Darjeeling district, Patra and Dutta (2010) recorded 31 species of Cypriniformes fish from River Karala and again Patra et al. (2011)recorded 55 species of fishes from the same river, Acherjee and Barat (2012) reported 65 species from Teesta river at Darjeeling district, Mondal and Bandyopadhyay(2014) recorded 78 fish species from the rivers of Duars region, Sharma and Baro (2014) reported 83 species from river Sankosh and Barat et al. (2015) recorded fishesfrom Kaljani river at Coochbehar district. But there is no recent record of ichthyofauna diversity from the District Cooch Behar as a whole. Therefore we have attempted torecord the fresh water fish diversity of Cooch Behar District at this present environmental scenario.

A total of 104 fish species belong to 9 orders and 29 families were recorded during the course of the study. A checklist of all recorded species along with theircommon / local name, abundance status, IUCN conservation status and trends were presented in Annexure-3. Family Cyprinidae representing the highest number (41) ofrecorded species, followed by family Bagridae (8) then family Sisoridae (7) and family Cobitidae (4). The major number (90 out of 104 types) of fishes were found fromCypriniformes (49 No.), Siluriformes (25 No.) and from Perciformes (16 in number). Summary of these findings are presented in Table-1. This observation corroborated withthe findings of Banerjee et al. (2009), Patra et al. (2011), Acherjee and Barat (2012) and Sharma and Baro (2014). Regarding trend of the population, IUCN noted thatpopulation of 14 species are decreasing, but about other 80 species there is no data in the website of IUCN.

After analyzing the data of Annexure-3, it is observed that one Endangered, two Vulnerable and 11 Near Threatened species were recorded from Cooch BeharDistrict of West Bengal. Surprisingly IUCN not assayed 10 species from this list and data is deficient regarding three species and researchers are ‘List Concern’ on about 77species of fishes from the list (Annexure-3), out of which many are very important for their food value and other for their ornamental value. Tor putitora is recorded under‘endangered (A 4acde)’, Cyprinion semiplotum is ‘vulnerable (A 2acde+3cde)’ and Cirrhinus cirrhosus is also recorded as ‘vulnerable (D2)’ category. Out of these three thefirst one was recorded as ‘very rare’ in Cooch Behar, second one was found to be ‘rare’ category and the third one recorded as ‘common’ in Cooch Behar. In ourobservation it is noted that 51 species are captured as food fish, 21 species are used as an ornamental fish and another 32 species have both food as well as ornamentalvalue. It is also recorded that 16 species are ‘very common’ in Cooch Behar District, 41 species are fall in the category of ‘common’, 34 ‘rare’ and 13 species are found ‘veryrare’. IUCN data showed that the trend of 22 species is decreasing and our observation recorded 47 species are found under ‘rare’ or ‘very rare’ category, which needsfurther investigation. Among these 48 species some are having very good food value or ornamental value and they required proper conservation measures. Common namewith scientific name and photographs of all fishes recorded from this district are presented in Annexure-4.0.

We have recorded 4 crustacean from Cooch Behar district of which two were identified and other two were identified up to genus level. Name, scientific nameand photographs were presented in Annexure-4.1. Out of these four crustaceans three are prawn and one is crab.

During our survey we have recorded 11 exotic fishes from the Cooch Behar district of West Bengal of which 10 are having food value and the fish Gambusia affiniswere recorded from the drainage system of the Cooch Behar town. Surprisingly exotic fishes Tilapia, Oreochromis mossambicus and Red-bellied pacu or Rupchanda,Piaractus brachypomus are recorded from this district. Fishermen reported that their seedlings are illegally transported from neighboring country Bangladesh. Bigheadcarp, Hypophthalmichthys nobilis and Java barb / silver barb / China Puti (Barbonymus gonionotus) are most widely cultured exotic fishes in this district. Common namewith scientific name and Photographs of these fishes are presented in Annexure-4.2. It is remarkable that Crocodile fish (Hypostomus guacari) is recorded from the freshwater ponds, small rivers of this district, though the frequency of findings is very rare.

We also recorded 21 dominant hydrophytes of which 3 belongs to submerged types, 6 floating, 7 submerged & floating variety and another 5 recorded from thebank area of the waterbodies of Cooch Behar district. Common name with scientific name and photographs are presented in Annexure-5.0. The literature published by Roy(2007) was consulted for the identification of the hydrophytes. We have recorded 6 types of fishing gears from this district; name and photographs are presented inAnnexure-6.0. Spot wise details of fishing gear/s used and hydrophytes recorded are presented in Format A1, A2, A3, Format B and in Format C.
