Assess the status of data-deficient freshwater fish from 10 major rivers of Kerala as freshwater fish remain one of the most poorly studied and documented taxa in the Western Ghats. Project will generate baseline information to help in systematic conservation planning and action, as well as monitoring and assessing the conservation status of globally threatened species of fish in the Western Ghats.

Strategic Direction: 2 Improve the conservation of globally threatened species through systematic conservation planning and action
