© Zoo Outreach Organisation; www.zoosprint.org Manuscript 1238; Received 18 August 2004; Finally accepted 12 August 2005; Date of publication 21 August 2005 1967 September 2005 | ISSN 0973-2535 (Print edition); 0973-2551 (Online edition) ABSTRACT There are, at present, at least 42 species of fish inhabiting Kaliveli floodplain and Uppukalli creek. Six species are confined to the floodplain, 19 are estuarine and 17 occur in both floodplain and creek. The IUCN Red List Category / Conservation status of 21 species could be determined: 1 Endangered, 5 Vulnerable, 14 Near threatened, and 1 Least concern. The only exotic was Oreochromis mossambica which is an Alien Invasive species. High concentrations of Chlorides around prawn farms exist, and this could have adverse effects on aquatic biodiversity.
