A case study was undertaken from March 2017 to February 2018 recently in the river Hillem of Basar, Lower Siang district, Arunachal Pradesh. The sampling of fish was done from three sites of the river time to time using fishing devices and techniques practiced by Galo tribes. A total of 33 species of fishes belonging to 12 families were taxonomically confirmed with 19 species under Cyprinidae followed by 3 species within Balitoridae, 2 species within Amblycipitidae and 1 species each within Mesonoemacheilus, Clariidae, Sisoridae, Olyridae, Siluridae, Badidae, Channidae, Anguillidae and Mastacembelidae. The physico-chemical parameters of the river water remained at permissible limit of Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS), thus free from pollution and congenial for aquatic life. The sampling of fishes were restricted only in three sites for the study period because of social ban on fishing by the natives aiming restoration of the ichthyofaunal abundance declined due to various anthropogenic factors.
