Various fishing gears such as home made net, mosquito net, thunche, etc. were used for fish collection. Hill stream fishes comprising two orders, three families and five genera were collected from an altitude of 2000m. Altogether five species two from Cyprinidae, two from Cobitidae and one from Siluridae were collected and they were as

It was found that the local community and government are not enough caring for the conservation of hill stream fishes in the Roshi-khola so, conservation and management principles of hill stream fishes need to be encouraged.
