The present investigation was carried out to know the fish composition of Yamuna river at Delhi (B1), Mathura (B2) and Agra (B3). Monthly sampling from all the sampling sites was made for a period of 12 months (March 2019 – February 2020).A total of 45 fish species belonging to 8 orders and 16 families were recorded from three sampling sites during the study period in the Yamuna river. Mathura has highest number of fish diversity with 38 species and Delhi has recorded lowest fish biodiversity of 36 species. Order Cypriniformes has maximum number of species but family wise Siluriformes has recorded total of 7 family which indicates the dominance of cat fishes in Yamuna river. Physico-chemical parameters were found good for fishes in all sites except in Delhi where DO was on the lower side during some months. Diversion of water, discharge of domestic sewage and agricultural runoff were prominent among the disturbances that alter the habitat quality.
