Fish Fauna Diversity: A Case Study of Rajnandgaon District (Chhattisgarh), India. Delves into the rich and under-explored aquatic biodiversity of one of central India's most ecologically significant regions. This comprehensive research highlights the vital role fish play in maintaining the health and balance of freshwater ecosystems. Through an in depth exploration of Rajnandgaon's diverse rivers, ponds, and reservoirs, the study identifies and classifies the fish species inhabiting the region while examining their ecological roles, distribution, and habitat preferences. With a focus on both the natural environment and the human communities dependent on these aquatic resources, the research also addresses the impacts of anthropogenic factors such as pollution, overfishing, and habitat destruction. The findings aim to contribute to sustainable fisheries management, conservation strategies, and policy recommendations. This first volume of the study lays the foundation for greater environmental education and action, with a follow-up volume to be released soon. It also addresses the pressing threats posed by human activities such as pollution, overfishing, and habitat destruction and calls for urgent conservation measures to safeguard these aquatic ecosystems. Structured to serve both academic and practical purposes, this volume combines detailed taxonomic analysis, ecological insights, and actionable recommendations for sustainable fisheries management. It is a vital resource for researchers, conservationists, policy-makers, and anyone passionate about preserving biodiversity. As the first volume in this pioneering study, it sets the stage for further exploration and action, with the second volume soon to follow.
