Water quality analysis indicated salinity (1.8-3.9 g/l), pH (7.4-8.7) and hardness (614-1000 mg/L).
Thirty Two fish species have been recorded, among these 13 commercial species are harvested on regular basis. Fish production is estimated to be 500 metric ton/year.
The physico-chemical parameters of lake water are towards higher side for a typical fresh water body. Thus the decrease in the fish population in Manchar lake may be attributed to higher values of environmental factors.
