The River BrahmaniThe river Brahmani is one of the east flowing rivers of India. The river basinhas a total drainage area of about 39,268 km2 of which 22,516 km2 lies in Orissastate, 15,405 km2 in Jharkhand and rest 1,347 km2 in Chhattisgarh state. It liesbetween latitude 20°28/ North to 23°35/ North and longitude 83°52/ East to 87°30/East. The river is formed by its two major tributaries namely Sankh and SouthKoel which originate in the state of Jharkhand. Brahmani river gets its name frombelow the point of confluence of river Sankh and river South Koel at Ved Vyasin Orissa.After assuming the name of Brahmani, the river crosses the Tamra and Jharberaforests, and passes through the town of Bonaigarh in Angul district before beingdammed to create the large Rengali reservoir. It then flows through the cities ofTalcher and Dhenkanalbefore splitting up into two streams. The main streamflows by the town of Jajpur Road. The branch stream called Kimiria receives thewaters of the Birupa before rejoining the main stream at Indupur. The river thenreceives the Kharsua, on its left bank before merging with the Baitarani, a majorriver, to form the Dhamra estuary. A distributary called Maipara branches offhereto join the Bay of Bengal a short distance away while the main stream proceedsnorthward for a few kilometers before ultimately meeting the sea near Chandbaliat Palmyras Point. The Brahmani delta is the site of the Bhitarkanika wildlifesanctuary.The fish samples were collected in course of our investigation on the ecologicalintegrity assessment of river Brahmani. The fishes were caught through different~elective and non-selective fishing gears viz. bag net, drag nets, seine n~ts, fallingnets and gill nets and were preserved in 7-10 % formalin. Fish sample were alsocollected from adjoining fish landing centers and were photographed in thesampling site. The collected fishes were identified as per Day (1989), Mishra(1962), Jayaram (1981), Fisher and Bianchi (1984), Talwar and Jhingran (1991)and Jayaram (2006).1
