Abstract:

Indian flap shell turtle Lissemys punctata (Lacepede, 1788) is recorded for first from the sanctuary. Lissemys punctata (Lacepede, 1788) is new addition to the reptilian fauna under order Testudines and family Trionychidae from the sanctuary. Specimens were recorded in fairly good number from the Naryan Sarovar Lake during the study period. However, due to large algal blooms and water plants the lake is facing the problem of eutrophication.
