During the present study the Ichthyofauna of Ghod reservoir and its potential towards fish culture was studied. The assessment was based on the study of fish diversity during May 2016 to April 2017. Altogether 25 fish species belonging to 19 different genera, 10 families and 6 orders were found in the reservoir. Order Cypriniformes dominated with 14 species followed by Perciformes with 4 species, Mastacembaliformes and Siluriformes 2 species, Clupeiformes and Beloniformes with 1 species each. The study revealed that Ghod reservoir possesses rich fish diversity that assisted the economy of local fishermen community and also supplemented protein rich food to the local people. But appropriate conservation actions are required to maintain sustainability and richness of the species diversity of the reservoir.
