Abstract
The threatened Reba carp, Cirrhinus reba is one of the high nutritional valuable foods in Asian countries including Bangladesh, India, Nepal and Pakistan. However, natural populations have been declined due to over exploitation and various ecological changes in its natural habitats leading to an alarming condition and deserving of high conservation importance. This paper recommended the actions for the conservation of the remaining isolated population of C. reba in Asian countries.
