Thephysico-chemical and biological parameters have been studied in relation tothe distribution, abundance and frequency occurrence of ichthyofauna in Rapti River. Water quality analysis of Rapti river revealed that dissolved oxygen was of the optimum level.The river is providing with runs,pools and riffles showing the different fish habitats.
