The water of reservoir ismainly used for irrigation purpose and also for fisheries. Dhaura reservoir gathered a wide variety of Icthyo fauna. The present study was conducted for one year that is November 2011 to October 2012. During the study a total of 10 families and25 species are identified belonging to 9 Cyprinidae, 3 Bagridae, 3 Channidae, 3 Siluridae, 2 Notopteridae and a specieseach from Heteropneustidae, Claridae, Belonidae, Mastacemblidae and Clupeidae. The detailed taxonomic account of thesefish species is documented in this research paper.<#LINE#>Vass K.K. and Sugunan V.V.@Status of Reservoir Fisheries inIndia@In: De Silva S.S. and Amarsinghe U.S. (eds.)

Total protein percentage was maximum in body meatfollowed by claw meat and trash being 62.16±0.30%, 57.39±0.35% and 29.05±0.66% respectively. Estimations on monthlybasis revealed the protein values to be maximum during non-spawning period. The lowest water content in the body meat(78.13±1.45%), claw meat (77.73±1.44%) and trash (56.75±1.12%) were also recorded during non spawning periods. Theprotein content recorded an inverse relation to water content in all the three body tissues. The aim of the present study wasthus to evaluate the protein and water content in different tissues of P. masoniana and relating them to seasonal variation inaddition to its health benefits to the consumers as it is a rich source of protein.<#LINE#>Yoloye V.L.@@Invertebrate zoology.

The fish muscle was subjected to the frozen storage for a period of one month and the analysis was carried out at an interval of 10 days. It was observed that proximate composition viz. protein, lipid, moisture and ash content decreased significantly (P0.05) with increase in the duration of frozen period. The fresh (unfrozen) samples revealed the highest values for all i.e.15.45�0.2% for protein, 4.02�0.04% for lipid, 81.66�0.03 for moisture and 1.48�0.1% for ash while the least values were observed at the end of one month frozen storage period i.e.10.14�0.015%, 2.36�0.03%, 74�0.05% and1.33�0.02% for protein, lipid, moisture and ash respectively. pH of fish ranged between 5.9 to 7.1 while the biochemical parameters viz.,Free Fatty Acids (FFA) and Thiobarbituric acid (TBA) showed an increasing trend with increase in frozen storage period. Similarly, the microbial count for Total Plate Count (TPC), Coliform Count (CC) and Psychrotrophic Count (PC) increased gradually from 2.18�0.02 log cfu/g, 2.02�0.04 log cfu/g and 2.43�0.03 log cfu/g on day 0 to 6.87�0.1 log cfu/g, 5.25�0.2 log cfu/g and 5.99�0.02 log cfu/g on day 30threspectively. Thus, considering the importance from consumer point of view, these studies reveal that a significant loss is observed in fish during frozen storage. However, it could be implied that fish could be kept under frozen conditions when preservation is of utmost importance, so as to retain its taste and nutrition.<#LINE#>Nettleton J.
