Psilorhynchus microphthalmus is a freshwater ray-finned fish, a torrent minnow. It is restricted to the Chapki Stream in the Chindwin basin of Manipur, India. It is found in flowing water with a rock substrate. This species is threatened from the effects of the use of poisons and explosives for fishing and the sedimentation of its habitat caused by deforestation and slash and burn agriculture.

The tubemouth whipray is a little-known species of stingray in the family Dasyatidae, named for its distinctive, highly protrusible jaws. It is found in shallow, brackish water near mangrove forests and large river mouths along the coasts of southwestern Borneo and southern Sumatra. Measuring up to 1 m (3.3 ft) across, this species has a diamond-shaped pectoral fin disc with an elongated, pointed snout and broadly rounded outer corners. The upper surface of the disc is a plain grayish or brownish in color, and covered by small, flattened dermal denticles. The tubemouth whipray is relatively common at present, but is heavily pressured by habitat degradation and coastal fisheries. The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) has listed it as Vulnerable.

Hemibagrus punctatus, or Nilgiri mystus, is a species of fish in the family Bagridae. It was first described by Jerdon in 1849. It is endemic to east-flowing rivers in the Western Ghats of India. Of these, the species is likely only found in the Kaveri River; records from the Krishna River may actually be of H. maydelli. However, one record from the west-flowing Bharatappuzha River has been tentatively assigned to this species. The last record of this species was in 1998, and it may have experienced a population decline of nearly 100%; thus, IUCN categorizes the species as critically endangered. It is threatened by habitat degradation by excess siltation, excess fishing, and dam construction. However, based on several specimens caught by fishermen between 2011 and 2012 that likely belong to this species, as well as testimonies from local fishers, moderate populations of this species may still be extant in the region.

<i>Hemibagrus nemurus</i> Species of fish

Hemibagrus nemurus is a species of catfishes of the genus Hemibagrus in the family Bagridae. After a major review by Ng and Kottelat (2013), its distribution is believed to be confined (endemic) to Java. It is found in Sumatra in the Bukit Tigapuluh National Park in 2016, too. These catfish are found in Malaysia, Indonesia, Java, Sumatra, Borneo and Thailand.

Hemibagrus filamentus is a species of catfish endemic to Cambodia, Laos and Thailand, known only from Mekong River. It is found in still waters and moving waters although it also been found in large rivers. It feeds on fishes, crustaceans, aquatic insect larvae and plant material. When migrating, it moves into smaller tributaries and in flooded areas with rising water level; they spawn from June to July. It is listed as a junior synonym of H. nemurus and research is often confused with H. nemurus. It is fished for food by small-scale commercial fisheries but exact threats are unknown and nothing else is known about this fish thus the Data Deficient listing.
