INTRODUCTION

Freshwater molluscs are important constituent of aquatic ecosystem. They pIa y a vital

role linking primary consumers to tertiary ones. They are valuable as cheap and in .portant

source of animal protein for human beings besides they can act as vectors for traru.mission

of various diseases in animal communities, livestock and human population. Freshwater

molluscan diversity is estimated to be 5000 species in World (Mavinkurve e t a l., 2004) and

almost 200 species in India (Ramakrishna and Dey, 2007). Many studies were conducted

on freshwater molluscs of India, however, noteworthy contributions were that of Subba

Rao (1989)and Ramakrishna and Dey (2007).Western Ghats is a unique place for (' number

of animals including molluscs with a high level of endemism. Nearly 57 species of freshwater

molluscs are found in Western Ghats of which one third species are endemic (Mavinkurve

e t al., 2004). Nevertheless, a very few studies were conducted in protected areas of

Maharashtra. The present study on freshwater molluscs of Chandoli National Park is a

beginning effort to collect information, which resulted in 7 species under 5 fan iIies of 3

orders. Identification based on the hand book of Ramakrishna and Dey (2007) lollowing

classification system of Vaught (1989).
