During exploration, a total of 13 species of fishes belonging to 12 genera, 8 families and 5 orders were identified. As per latest version of IUCN Red List, out of 13 species of fishes identified, 1 species comes under UV (vulnerable), 1 under NT (near threatened), 8 under LC (least concern) and 3 species are NE (not evaluated) so far.
