Abstract

The current study focuses on Noemacheilus rupicola (McClelland) fecundity in the snowfed Yamuna river in India’s Doon valley. In fish measuring 55mm to 75mm in length, the reproductive capacity of Noemacheilus rupicola (McClelland) varied from 152 to 1612. The
weight of the fish influences reproductive capacity more than any other body parameter. In N. rupicola, the average sex ratio was 1.60 male: 1.00 female. The overall sex ratio was determined to be non-significant.
