Author(s): SPS Dutta and Assadullah Sheikh
Abstract: An adult deformed
Bagarius bagarius showing abnormal lateral curvature between pelvic fin and caudal peduncle regionand
Crossocheilus latius diplocheilus having truncated body in anal-caudal peduncle region were seen among fish collections made by fishermen in river Tawi, Udhampur area. Radiograph showed lateral flexure in vertebral column (scoliosis) in
Bagarius bagarius and S-shaped vertebral column in
Crossocheilus latius diplocheilus. Aberrations in these fishes inhabiting non-polluted segment of river Tawi, in Udhampur,are most probably induced by currents during development.
