Osteobrama belangeri the State fish of Manipur and locally called “Pengba”, is a minor carp and endemic to Manipur of Northeast India. However, its population has declined significantly over the last few decades and the species is currently listed among the endangered fish species of India and classified as ‘extinct in the wild’ (CAMP reports, 1998). The abundance of the species declined due to habitat degradation, construction of dam and other biotic as well as abiotic factors. Because of its high consumer preference, in taste, price and demand O. belangeri fetches better price than the fish species in domestic markets in Manipur. In order to produce more quantity of this fish farmers started to use different techniques such as hormonal inducement, pen culture fish farming technique, cage system farming etc. The present study aims to find out the effect of abiotic and biotic factors on the developmental biology of Osteobrama belangeri (Pengba) in the State Manipur.
