Abstract: A fish market is a location where commercially significant fish and fish products are sold. In the city of Bhandara, there exist two varieties of fish markets: a regular fish market and a weekly fish market. The regular fish market is situated in the Kardha area of Bhandara, while the weekly fish market is found in the main city. The variety of fish is analyzed through the presence of specific species in catches by fishermen and examinations of local fish markets. Collected fish were identified using standard literature, photographed, and preserved in glass jars containing a 10% formalin solution. Fish from the orders Cypriniformes, Perciformes, Ophiocephaliformes, Beloniformes, Clupeiformes, and Mastacembeliformes were documented in Bhandara fish market. A significant group of fish is classified under the order Cypriniformes. Fishes from the order Cypriniformes are commonly favored in aquaculture methods. These fish are raised to meet the needs of consumers. Consumers primarily favor these fish because they grow larger and are highly nutritious and tasty. In the current study, we have indicated the presence of various types of fish at the Bhandara fish market. These investigations will aid in examining the freshwater resources of Bhandara District and will also assist in conducting research on these lines.
