Abstract

Tripura is a small Northeastern state (approximate Longitude 920E, Latitude 230N) of India comprising of several water bodies and fish farms. Where, morphological deformity in fishes has been reported in various species and was attributed to various factors viz, nutritional deficiency, stressed conditions in the ecosystem and genetic factors. The present study reports for the first time some innate deformities such as absence of one operculum, eye; two conjoint baby fish; scoliosis like lateral undulation of spinal cord; bending in caudal fin in different fishes and absence of caudal fin. Etiological agents are supposed to be related to genetics due to inbreeding problems. And further detailed studies are needed for ascertaining the actual causatives.
