Abstract
Tripura is a small Northeastern state (approximate Longitude 92°E, Latitude 23°N) of India comprising of several water bodies and fish farms. Morphological deformity in fishes has been reported in various species and was attributed to various factors such as nutritional deficiency, stressed conditions in the ecosystem, and genetic factors. The present study reports for the first time some innate deformities such as the absence of one operculum, eye; two conjoint baby fish; scoliosis-like lateral undulation of the 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. Further detailed studies are needed for ascertaining the actual causatives.
