River Pampa is one of the longest river systems of Kerala. Out of the 60 species of fishes reported from the river, 26 species, belonging to 5 orders and 21 genera contributed to the exploited fishery. The landings were represented by one endangered (Gonoproktopterus curumca), two each vulnerable (Horabagrus branchysoma and Channa diplogramma) and near threatened (NT) fish species (Wallago attu and Ompok bimaculatus). The annual average landings from this river was estimated to be 394.22 t. Highest landings were recorded during pre-monsoon season (194.48 t) and lowest in monsoon (38.97 t). Labeo dussumieri (75.98 t), Puntius sarana subnasutus (39.61 t), W. attu (37.65 t), Channa striatus (36.34 t) and Amblypharyngodon microlepis (34.32 t) were the dominant fishes in the landings. Catla catla (17.28 t) and Clarias gariepinus were the exotic species bserved in the landings. Macrobrachium rosenbergii was the most priced species used for export.
