Altitude plays an important part in the distribution of fish. The various factors which limit the distribution of fish communities in Garhwal hills are the hydroclimate, the size and the gradient of the stream, and changes in biotic conditions. The reduction of the number of species at higher altitude could be connected with the geomorphological changes brought about in the Himalaya in different geological eras. The absence of fish communities above an altitude of 1311 m in Garhwal hills could be due to the recent uplift of the Himalaya in this region.
