Biodiversity of Fishes in Arunachal Himalaya: Systematics, Classification, and Taxonomic Identification
provides a detailed piscatorial resource of the fish species living in
the rich mountain waterbodies of the eastern Himalayan region. It
presents the latest classifications and updated taxa of fish dwelling in
high-altitude cold waters, mid-altitude cold and warm waters, and warm
waters in the low altitude foothill regions of the Arunachal Himalaya.
The book includes the scientific and vernacular names of more than 200
fish species, as well as coloration, distributional and conservational
status. It addresses increasing threats to the endemic fishes of this
region, including habitat shrinkage, habitat destruction, and more.
This
book will be a valuable resource for biodiversity and conservation
researchers, especially those specializing in ichthyo-faunal diversity.
Fishery researchers and students will also find the information
presented on taxonomic and classification very useful to their
initiatives.
- Documents the taxonomy of 218 freshwater fish species from the headwaters of the Brahmaputra basin
- Includes quality photographs of each species, either in the wild or as fresh specimens, for easy visual identification
- Provides species registration numbers and key distinguishing features for fast field and research references
