Abstract

The current study was conducted during February to March 2022 and May to October 2022, to investigate the ichthyofaunal diversity and physiochemical assessment of Baran dam district Bannu. A total of 27 species were collected, belonging to 18 genera, 8 families and 5 orders. The cyprinidae family was most common and abundant with percentile range of 81.85%, while mastacembelidae family was less abundant 0.92% respectively. We have analyzed their hardness, alkalinity, Power of Hydrogen ion concentrations (pH), oxygen, temperature and total dissolved solids (TDS) and  most physico-chemical parameters indicated significant spatial variation (ANOVA, p < 0.05). However, pH and temperature values did not reveal difference among the sampling sites (p > 0.05).
