Department of Environmental Sciences,University of Jammu,Jammu

Abstract

Fifteen deformed specimens of Cirrhinusmrigala (Ham.Buch.) showing morphological and vertebral anomalies were seen in the collections made by the fishermen from various fresh water ponds in Jammu district and have been described .Possible causes of fish aberrations have also been discussed.
