Abstract
Sathiyamoorthy Sagar Reservoir, also known as Poondi Reservoir, is the reservoir built across the Kotralai River near Poondi, a small village in Tiruvallur district of Tamil Nadu State. An intensive survey was conducted on the fish faunal diversity of the reservoir for a period of 12 months from January 2022 to December 2022 and documented a total of 51 species including 49 species of finfish and 2 species of shellfish. In the finfish group, the order Cypriniformes was observed to have the highest contribution to the diversity (39.2% with 20 species) followed by Siluriformes (15.6% with 8 species). Macrobrachium malcomsonii and Macrobrachium rosenbergii are the two prawn species reported from the Sathiyamoorthy Sagar Reservoir.
