“…The highest ichthyo diversity and evenness occurred in station 5 during the monsoon season, which may be due to less pollution pressure compared with the other sites and the availability of nutrients during the rainy season.Perciformes and decapods contribute the maximum catch.Station 1 is located near the mouth of Gorai Creek adjacent to the sea, which could expect more diversity. The economic activities like jetty construction, fishing harbour and pollution discharged by the tourist from the adjoining beach causes a substantial negative impact on the site Garima et al (2020). studied the ichthyofauna diversity of Karanja and Dharmatar creek which uncovered the effect of anthropogenic activities on the studied site Lad & Patil (2013, 2016a, 2016b.…”

A study conducted to assess the faunal diversity in Gorai creek of Mumbai, India during August 2019 to July 2020, revealed 90 species of fauna under 70 genera, 50 families, 29 orders, 6 classes and 3 phyla. The order-wise representation of identified fauna was found to be 7 ichthyofauna, 4 pelecypods, 6 gastropods, 2 cephalopods, 1 shrimp and 1 stomatopod along with 8 avifauna. The data collected month wise were pooled together and transformed into three seasons [Monsoon (June to September), Winter (October to February), and Summer (March to May)] and this seasonal data were used for the study of biodiversity pattern. Using the average seasonal species occurrence data as input the following biodiversity indices, S, N, d, J', Brillouin, Fisher, ES(1), H'(loge), 1-Lambda, N10, Delta, Delta*, Delta+, sDelta+, Lambda+, Phi+ & sPhi+ were calculated by using PRIMER Vers. 7.0. The results of the present study indicates that Gorai creek ecosystem is endowed with moderate biodiversity that needs to be conserved.
