  Classification of caudal fin  The caudal fin, or tail fin, in fish can be classified into different types based on its shape and structure. The caudal fin, or tail fin, is a critical anatomical feature in fish, serving various functions essential for survival. Here are the primary functions of the caudal fin: Propulsion : The caudal fin is the main propulsive force for most fish, allowing them to swim forward. By moving the fin side to side, fish generate thrust that propels them through the water. Different types of caudal fins provide varying degrees of speed and power. Maneuverability : The shape and flexibility of the caudal fin allow fish to make precise movements, including quick turns and sudden stops. This maneuverability is crucial for avoiding predators, catching prey, and navigating complex environments like coral reefs or dense vegetation. Stability: The caudal fin helps maintain balance and stability in the water, preventing the fish from pitching (tilting forwa...

Initially, the goal was to reduce pollution levels, but in a 1987 meeting led by Prof. M. G. K. Menon, the objective was revised to restoring the river's water quality to the "Bathing Class" standard.
