Abstract:
|
While conducting surveys for potential ornamental fishes in the fresh water bodies
of the river Periyar, three specimens of Danio fraseri Hora and Mukerji, were collected from a
stream joining to the river Periyar, at Desom, near Alwaye on 6 October 2001. It is the only
species so far known under the genus Danio with a hypertrophied lower lip forming a loose
flap along the lower jaw. This is a new locality record for Kerala and southern Western
Ghats. |
