Abstract

The burrowing crab Barytelphusa cunicularis is most abundant in Godavari river and its tributaries. This crab excavates and maintains large semi-permanent open burrows with funnel shaped entrances whereas the tunnel shaped burrows internally curved as a wave with short distance (2-4 Ft.). Present study was carried out during year 2016-2017 and total number of burrows recorded in river Asna and Lendi the tributaries of Godavari River in Nanded region, Maharashtra. Mean frequency of burrows of size category (5.0 to 9.0) was 9.35 Â± 0.40 and 6.92 Â± 0.41 respectively in the tributaries of Godavari river.
