4.6.1 Introductory note
Comparison of freshwater fisheries is only applicable to Keenjhar Lake and
Chotiari Reservoir and therefore only appears in these reports. There is a
separate report for Keti Bunder under marine fisheries.
4.6.2 Species account
A total of 55 species of fish were recorded from Keenjhar Lake and a total of 47
from Chotiari Reservoir. Both water bodies are freshwater and are fed by the
River Indus, therefore similar if not exact species are expected from each site.
Table 55 below gives an account of the species present at each water body.
