Kingdom: Animalia
Phylum: Chordata
Class: Actinopterygii
Order: Cypriniformes
Family: Cyprinidae
Subfamily: Labeoninae
Genus: Labeo
Species: L. catla
Catla is a fish with large and broad head, a large protruding
lower jaw, and upturned mouth. It has large, greyish scales on its dorsal side and whitish on its belly. It
reaches up to 182 cm (6.0 ft) in length and 38.6 kg (85 lb) in weight. Catla is a surface and midwater
feeder. It is native to rivers and lakes in northern India, Bangladesh, Myanmar, Nepal, and Pakistan,
but has also been introduced elsewhere in South Asia and is commonly farmed .

Genus: Labeo
The rohu, rui, or roho labeo (Labeo rohita) is a species of fish of the carp family, found in rivers in
South Asia. It is a large omnivore and extensively used in aquaculture. The rohu is a large, silver-
coloured fish of typical cyprinid shape, with a conspicuously arched head. Adults can reach a
maximum weight of 45 kg (99 lb) and maximum length of 2 m (6.6 ft), but average around 1⁄2 m
(1.6 ft)
Mrigal

Binomial name
Labeo rohita
Kingdom: Animalia
Phylum: Chordata
Class: Actinopterygii
Order: Cypriniformes
Family: Cyprinidae
Subfamily: Labeoninae
The Mrigal fish can grow very big. Their body is bilaterally
symmetrical and streamlined. The depth is about equal to
length of head. Their body is covered with cycloid scales, and
there are no scales on their head and snout blunt.
Chinese Major carps
Grass, silver, bighead, and black carp are known as the "Four Domesticated Fish" in China and are
the most important freshwater fish species for food and traditional Chinese medicine. Bighead and
silver carp are the most important fish, worldwide, in terms of total aquaculture product
characteristics ofchinese major carps

Genus: Cirrhinus
Species: C. cirrhosus
Binomial name
Cirrhinus cirrhosus
Kingdom: Animalia
Phylum: Chordata
Class: Actinopterygii
Order: Cypriniformes
Family: Cyprinidae
Subfamily: Squaliobarbinae
Species: C. idella

short,lanceolate andwidelyset.
Silvercarp
The silver carp is a deep-bodied fish that is laterally
compressed. They are a very silvery in color when young
and when they get older they fade from a greenish color
on the back to silver on the belly. They have very tiny scales on their body but the head and
the opercles are scaleless. They have a large mouth without any teeth in the jaw, but they
have pharyngeal teeth. Its eyes are situated far forward on the midline of the body and are
slightly turned down.
Binomial name
Ctenopharyngodon idella
Kingdom: Animalia
Phylum: Chordata
Class: Actinopterygii
Order: Cypriniformes
Family: Cyprinidae
Subfamily: Xenocyprinae
Genus: Hypophthalmichthys
Species: H. molitrix
Binomial name
Hypophthalmichthys molitrix
Bighead carp
The bighead carp is a large, narrow fish with eyes that
project downward. Coloration of the body is dark gray,
fading to white toward the underside, and with dark
blotches on the sides. Its head has no scales, a large
mouth with no teeth, and a protruding lower jaw. Its
eyes are located far forward and low on its head. It is
very similar to the silver carp, and can be distinguished
by the dark coloration on its sides. The bighead carp can
be identified by a smooth keel between the anal and
pelvic fins that does not extend anterior of the base of
the pelvic fins.
Black carp
Kingdom: Animalia
Phylum: Chordata
Class: Actinopterygii
Order: Cypriniformes
Family: Cyprinidae
Subfamily: Xenocyprinae
Genus: Hypophthalmichthys
Species: H. nobilis
Binomial name
Hypophthalmichthys nobilis
Kingdom: Animalia
Phylum: Chordata
Class: Actinopterygii
Order: Cypriniformes
Family: Cyprinidae
Black carp is a blackish-brown fish with blackish-grey fins and an
elongated and laterally compressed body. One of the black carp’s
distinguishing characteristics is its pharyngeal teeth and this is
reflected in its scientific name. Black tipped scales give the
appearance of cross-hatching, Dorsal fin is short and pointed,
containing 7-8 rays, Dorsal fin is located above the pelvic fins, Anal
fin is located closer to the caudal fin than in the native minnow. The
black carp closely resembles the grass carp in appearance (body
shape and size; coloration; appearance, position, and shape of fins;
position and size of eyes), but may be most easily distinguished by
differences in the formation of the pharyngeal teeth: they possess
deep parallel grooves on the Grass carp and appear molar-likethey
on the Black carp.
OTHER COMMON SPIECIES OFPAKISTAN
Tilapia
Tilapia is the common name for nearly a hundred species of cichlid fish from
the coelotilapine, coptodonine, heterotilapine, oreochromine, pelmatolapiine and tilapiine tribes (form
erly all were in Tilapiini), with the economically most important species placed in Coptodonini and
Oreochromini.
Characteristics
Tilapia typically have laterally compressed, deep bodies. Like other cichlids, their
lower pharyngeal bones are fused into a single tooth-bearing structure. A complex set of muscles
allows the upper and lower pharyngeal bones to be used as a second set of jaws for processing food
(cf. morays), allowing a division of labor between the "true jaws" (mandibles) and the "pharyngeal
jaws". This means they are efficient feeders that can capture and process a wide variety of food
items.[11]
Their mouths are protrusible, usually bordered with wide and often swollen lips. The jaws
have conical teeth. Typically, tilapia have a long dorsal fin, and a lateral line which often breaks
towards the end of the dorsal fin, and starts again two or three rows of scales below. Some Nile
tilapia can grow as long as 2.0 ft.
Other than their temperature sensitivity, tilapia exist in or can adapt to a very wide
range of conditions. An extreme example is the Salton Sea, where tilapia introduced when the water
was merely brackish now live in salt concentrations so high that other marine fish cannot survive.
Tilapia are also known to be a mouth-brooding species, which means they carry the fertilized eggs
and young fish in their mouths for several days after the yolk sac is absorbed.
Subfamily: Squaliobarbinae
Genus: Mylopharyngodon
W. K. H. Peters,
1881
Species: M. piceus
Binomial name
Mylopharyngodon piceus
Salmon
Salmon is the common name for several species of ray-finned fish in the family Salmonidae. Other
fish in the same family include trout, char, grayling and whitefish. Salmon are native to tributaries of
the North Atlantic (genus Salmo) and Pacific Ocean (genus Oncorhynchus). Many species of salmon
have been introduced into non-native environments such as the Great Lakes of North America
and Patagonia in South America. Salmon are intensively farmed in many parts of the world.
Typically, salmon are anadromous: they hatch in fresh water, migrate to the ocean, then return to
fresh water to reproduce. However, populations of several species are restricted to fresh water
through their lives. Folklore has it that the fish return to the exact spot where they hatched to spawn.
Tracking studies have shown this to be mostly true. A portion of a returning salmon run may stray
and spawn in different freshwater systems; the percent of straying depends on the species of
salmon. Homing behavior has been shown to depend on olfactory memory. Salmon date back to
the Neogene.

Trout
The rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) is a trout and species of salmonid native to cold-
water tributaries of the Pacific Ocean in Asia and North America. The steelhead (sometimes called
"steelhead trout") is an anadromous (sea-run) form of the coastal rainbow trout (O. m.
irideus) or Columbia River redband trout (O. m. gairdneri) that usually returns to fresh water
to spawn after living two to three years in the ocean. Freshwater forms that have
been introduced into the Great Lakes and migrate into tributaries to spawn are also called steelhead.
Adult freshwater stream rainbow trout average between 1 and 5 lb (0.5 and 2.3 kg), while lake-
dwelling and anadromous forms may reach 20 lb (9 kg). Coloration varies widely based
on subspecies, forms and habitat. Adult fish are distinguished by a broad reddish stripe along
the lateral line, from gills to the tail, which is most vivid in breeding males
.

Identification of Indian Major Carps Carp Carp are variousspeciesof oily[1] freshwaterfishfromthe familyCyprinidae,averylarge group of fishnative toEurope andAsia.While carpis consumedinmanyparts of the world,theyare generally consideredasinvasivespeciesinparts of Africa,Australiaandmostof the United states. Indian Major Carps Indianmajorcarps, Catlacatla (catla),Labeorohita(rohu) andCirrhinuscirrhosus(mrigal) are of prime importance infoodandnutritionsecurity. Characteristic of Indian major carps Catla catla (catla) Kingdom: Animalia Phylum: Chordata Class: Actinopterygii Order: Cypriniformes Family: Cyprinidae Subfamily: Labeoninae Genus: Labeo Species: L. catla
  • 3. Catla is a fish with large and broad head, a large protruding lower jaw, and upturned mouth. It has large, greyish scales on its dorsal side and whitish on its belly. It reaches up to 182 cm (6.0 ft) in length and 38.6 kg (85 lb) in weight. Catla is a surface and midwater feeder. It is native to rivers and lakes in northern India, Bangladesh, Myanmar, Nepal, and Pakistan, but has also been introduced elsewhere in South Asia and is commonly farmed . Rohu Binomial name Labeo catla Kingdom: Animalia Phylum: Chordata Class: Actinopterygii Order: Cypriniformes Family: Cyprinidae Subfamily: Labeoninae Genus: Labeo
  • 4. The rohu, rui, or roho labeo (Labeo rohita) is a species of fish of the carp family, found in rivers in South Asia. It is a large omnivore and extensively used in aquaculture. The rohu is a large, silver- coloured fish of typical cyprinid shape, with a conspicuously arched head. Adults can reach a maximum weight of 45 kg (99 lb) and maximum length of 2 m (6.6 ft), but average around 1⁄2 m (1.6 ft) Mrigal Species: L. rohita Binomial name Labeo rohita Kingdom: Animalia Phylum: Chordata Class: Actinopterygii Order: Cypriniformes Family: Cyprinidae Subfamily: Labeoninae
  • 5. The Mrigal fish can grow very big. Their body is bilaterally symmetrical and streamlined. The depth is about equal to length of head. Their body is covered with cycloid scales, and there are no scales on their head and snout blunt. Chinese Major carps Grass, silver, bighead, and black carp are known as the "Four Domesticated Fish" in China and are the most important freshwater fish species for food and traditional Chinese medicine. Bighead and silver carp are the most important fish, worldwide, in terms of total aquaculture product characteristics ofchinese major carps Grass carp Genus: Cirrhinus Species: C. cirrhosus Binomial name Cirrhinus cirrhosus Kingdom: Animalia Phylum: Chordata Class: Actinopterygii Order: Cypriniformes Family: Cyprinidae Subfamily: Squaliobarbinae Species: C. idella

Cycloidscalesare dark‐edgedwithablackspotat the base,and the gill rakersare short,lanceolate andwidelyset. Silvercarp The silver carp is a deep-bodied fish that is laterally compressed. They are a very silvery in color when young and when they get older they fade from a greenish color on the back to silver on the belly. They have very tiny scales on their body but the head and the opercles are scaleless. They have a large mouth without any teeth in the jaw, but they have pharyngeal teeth. Its eyes are situated far forward on the midline of the body and are slightly turned down. Binomial name Ctenopharyngodon idella Kingdom: Animalia Phylum: Chordata Class: Actinopterygii Order: Cypriniformes Family: Cyprinidae Subfamily: Xenocyprinae Genus: Hypophthalmichthys Species: H. molitrix Binomial name Hypophthalmichthys molitrix
  • 7. Bighead carp The bighead carp is a large, narrow fish with eyes that project downward. Coloration of the body is dark gray, fading to white toward the underside, and with dark blotches on the sides. Its head has no scales, a large mouth with no teeth, and a protruding lower jaw. Its eyes are located far forward and low on its head. It is very similar to the silver carp, and can be distinguished by the dark coloration on its sides. The bighead carp can be identified by a smooth keel between the anal and pelvic fins that does not extend anterior of the base of the pelvic fins. Black carp Kingdom: Animalia Phylum: Chordata Class: Actinopterygii Order: Cypriniformes Family: Cyprinidae Subfamily: Xenocyprinae Genus: Hypophthalmichthys Species: H. nobilis Binomial name Hypophthalmichthys nobilis Kingdom: Animalia Phylum: Chordata Class: Actinopterygii Order: Cypriniformes Family: Cyprinidae
  • 8. Black carp is a blackish-brown fish with blackish-grey fins and an elongated and laterally compressed body. One of the black carp’s distinguishing characteristics is its pharyngeal teeth and this is reflected in its scientific name. Black tipped scales give the appearance of cross-hatching, Dorsal fin is short and pointed, containing 7-8 rays, Dorsal fin is located above the pelvic fins, Anal fin is located closer to the caudal fin than in the native minnow. The black carp closely resembles the grass carp in appearance (body shape and size; coloration; appearance, position, and shape of fins; position and size of eyes), but may be most easily distinguished by differences in the formation of the pharyngeal teeth: they possess deep parallel grooves on the Grass carp and appear molar-likethey on the Black carp. OTHER COMMON SPIECIES OFPAKISTAN Tilapia Tilapia is the common name for nearly a hundred species of cichlid fish from the coelotilapine, coptodonine, heterotilapine, oreochromine, pelmatolapiine and tilapiine tribes (form erly all were in Tilapiini), with the economically most important species placed in Coptodonini and Oreochromini. Characteristics Tilapia typically have laterally compressed, deep bodies. Like other cichlids, their lower pharyngeal bones are fused into a single tooth-bearing structure. A complex set of muscles allows the upper and lower pharyngeal bones to be used as a second set of jaws for processing food (cf. morays), allowing a division of labor between the "true jaws" (mandibles) and the "pharyngeal jaws". This means they are efficient feeders that can capture and process a wide variety of food items.[11] Their mouths are protrusible, usually bordered with wide and often swollen lips. The jaws have conical teeth. Typically, tilapia have a long dorsal fin, and a lateral line which often breaks towards the end of the dorsal fin, and starts again two or three rows of scales below. Some Nile tilapia can grow as long as 2.0 ft. Other than their temperature sensitivity, tilapia exist in or can adapt to a very wide range of conditions. An extreme example is the Salton Sea, where tilapia introduced when the water was merely brackish now live in salt concentrations so high that other marine fish cannot survive. Tilapia are also known to be a mouth-brooding species, which means they carry the fertilized eggs and young fish in their mouths for several days after the yolk sac is absorbed.

  • 10. Salmon Salmon is the common name for several species of ray-finned fish in the family Salmonidae. Other fish in the same family include trout, char, grayling and whitefish. Salmon are native to tributaries of the North Atlantic (genus Salmo) and Pacific Ocean (genus Oncorhynchus). Many species of salmon have been introduced into non-native environments such as the Great Lakes of North America and Patagonia in South America. Salmon are intensively farmed in many parts of the world. Typically, salmon are anadromous: they hatch in fresh water, migrate to the ocean, then return to fresh water to reproduce. However, populations of several species are restricted to fresh water through their lives. Folklore has it that the fish return to the exact spot where they hatched to spawn. Tracking studies have shown this to be mostly true. A portion of a returning salmon run may stray and spawn in different freshwater systems; the percent of straying depends on the species of salmon. Homing behavior has been shown to depend on olfactory memory. Salmon date back to the Neogene.

  • 12. Trout The rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) is a trout and species of salmonid native to cold- water tributaries of the Pacific Ocean in Asia and North America. The steelhead (sometimes called "steelhead trout") is an anadromous (sea-run) form of the coastal rainbow trout (O. m. irideus) or Columbia River redband trout (O. m. gairdneri) that usually returns to fresh water to spawn after living two to three years in the ocean. Freshwater forms that have been introduced into the Great Lakes and migrate into tributaries to spawn are also called steelhead. Adult freshwater stream rainbow trout average between 1 and 5 lb (0.5 and 2.3 kg), while lake- dwelling and anadromous forms may reach 20 lb (9 kg). Coloration varies widely based on subspecies, forms and habitat. Adult fish are distinguished by a broad reddish stripe along the lateral line, from gills to the tail, which is most vivid in breeding males . References "IGFA World Records".
