The criterion for the selection of the study area was identifying suitable geographical area for wider variety of ornamental fish biodiversity according to fishermen. Different PRA tools like focus group discussion, personal interview was used during data collection. Shannon Biodiversity index was used for data analysis. Different statistical tools such as Pie chart and Table was used to represent the findings. There are 69 species was recorded under 30 family. The species of Chaetodontida (17%), Terapontidae (10%), Serranidae (7%), Lutjanidae (6%), Pomacentridae (11%), Pomacanthidae (4%), Mullidae (4%), Labridae (8%), Tripterygiidae (4%), Ephippididae (3%), Acanthuridae (3%), and Gobiidae (3%) are abundant family.
