The study was designed for three months (October, November and December) and selected three spot of sampling like Itinda Ferryghat, Sangrampur and Ferryghat Basirhat Burning Ghat. The sampling was done on fortnightly basis. During the sampling time selected water quality parameters and fish identification were analyzed. On conclusion basis the maximum fish diversity was found in November and December month. During the study there was 11 order fish, 26 family fish and 35 fish species found during the trial period. The major order of fish was found perciformes, clupeiformes, mugiliformes and carangiformes. The water quality parameters were found in optimum range

Conclusion
The fish biodiversity of Ichamati river in different months have significant variation in month November but the fish diversity slightly decreasing in December month. There are around 11 order fish, 26 family fish and 35 fish species found during the trial period. The major order of fish was found perciformes, clupeiformes, mugiliformes and carangiformes. On the basis of this study authors concluded that improved water quality and less pollution would have a significantly positive impact on fish biodiversity, leading to increased species richness and abundance
