Abstract
The present observation focuses on the fecundity of Noemacheilus denisonii Day in the snow-fed Yamuna river from Doon valley, India. The fecundity of Noemacheilus denisonii Day ranged from 139 to 2015 in fish that measured 50mm to 75mm in length. The weight of the fish has a greater impact on fecundity than any other body parameters.
