Chilika Lake, an assemblage of marine, brackish and freshwater ecosystems, on the east coast of India is a designated Ramsar site and a biodiversity hotspot. Intensive Fish Faounal inventories and biodiversity assessments were carried out and now documented 317 species belonging to 207 genera, in 88 families and 23 orders, including two endemic (Gobiidae) and one exotic cichlid species (Oreochromis mossambicus). This paper presents that the lake fishery is largely migratory species-dependent. An account of faunal characteristics for 129 commercially important species is provided. This also documents 48 threatened species and 103 species under different categories of conservation status.
