Bio-Ecological Status of Fresh Water Streams and Conservation Status of Fishes in Palani Hills of Southern Tamil Nadu, India

Abstract

Different climate changes in Palani hills of fresh water streams can be found in the Western Ghats. Physiochemical parameter determinations for the streams of the Palani hills in South India will be relevant during pandemic circumstances. The water quality evaluation was conducted to better understand the living bio-ecological condition of freshwater streams fishes and their struggle for polluted stream water following the pandemic situation, as well as variations in physiochemical parameters during seasonality of Tamilnadu. Palani hills fresh water streams will be harmed bio ecological condition of Palani hills and living endemic freshwater fishes and biodiversity was influenced, and physiochemical parameter of Palani hills streams in South India is scarce and attracted increasing attention during Pandemic situation, the analytical study would be helpful to understand the conservation status of Palani hills freshwater streams and endemic freshwater fishes.
