The Chambal River is an important river in the Ganges river system.
The Chambal River was declared as a National Chambal Sanctuary with
an aim to provide fully protected habitat for the conservation and
propagation of highly endangered crocodilian species and other
aquatic animals. The study area was comprised of a 395 km of the
National Chambal Sanctuary, from Pali to Chakarnagar. In the
present study 46 species of fishes belonging to 16 families were
observed during the course of present study and there is a general
observation suggesting rapid decline in fish population due to
large-scale illegal fishing. Two species of Crocodiles, the Gharial
(Gavialis gangeticus) and Mugger (Crocodylus palustris) and seven
species of freshwater turtles (Pangshura tentoria, Kachuga
dhongoka, Batagur kachuga, Hardell thurjii, Aspideretes gangeticus,
Lissemys -punctata anderoni, ) were identified in the study area.
The major human activities that destroyed the habitat in the
Chambal River are in the form of extensive untraditional
cultivation practices on the riverbanks, overgrazing, wood
collection from riverside vegetation and sand mining. Sand Banks
are very much useful for the aquatic animal
