The aquatic ecosystems and fisheries are subject to intense pressure from a wide range of anthropogenic and environmental disturbances. The available data indicate approximate 60% reduction in the fishes over the last three decades.

This book Fish Genetic Resources contains different chapters covering various aspects on fish taxonomic inventory their morphological features characterization of population various risk and threats alien species captive propagation re.
