Hemisilurus is a genus of sheatfishes native to Southeast Asia.
There are currently three recognized species in this genus: [2]
Species in this genus have no dorsal fin and only two barbels. [3] Hemisilurus mekongensis, known as Pa nang daeng in the Laotian language (Thai : ปลาดังแดง), is endemic to the Mekong basin. [4]
Tor is a genus of cyprinid fish commonly known as mahseers.
Rasbora is a genus of fish in the family Cyprinidae. They are native to freshwater habitats in South and Southeast Asia, as well as southeast China. A single species, R. gerlachi, is only known from an old specimen that reputedly originated from Africa (Cameroon), but this locality is considered doubtful. They are small, up to 17 cm (6.7 in) long, although most species do not surpass 10 cm (4 in) and many have a dark horizontal stripe.
Zungaro is a genus of long-whiskered catfishes native to South America, with two recognized species as of 2018:
Pangasius is a genus of medium-large to very large shark catfishes native to fresh water in South and Southeast Asia. The term "pangasius" is sometimes used to specifically refer to the commercially important basa fish, P. bocourti.
Microphis is a genus of pipefishes within the family Syngnathidae. Members of this genus are notable among the Syngnathidae for residing in mainly fresh and brackish waters. Adults breed in coastal rivers, streams, or lakes, and fertilized eggs are carried by the male pipefish in a brood pouch extending along his entire ventral surface.
Oryzias is a genus of ricefishes native to fresh and brackish water in east and south Asia. Some species are widespread and the Japanese rice fish is commonly used in science as a model organism, while others have very small ranges and are threatened. They are small, up to 8 cm (3.1 in) long, and most are relatively plain in colour.
Redigobius is a genus of fish in the goby family, Gobiidae, known commonly as dualspot gobies. They are native to the western Indo-Pacific region, where they occur in estuaries and freshwater habitats just above the tidal influence.
Sicyopterus is a genus of gobies native fresh waters from Madagascar to the Pacific islands.
Stenogobius is a genus of fish in the goby subfamily, Gobionellinae. They are native to fresh, brackish and marine waters along the coasts of the Indian and Pacific Oceans. They are known commonly as coastal stream gobies.
Ilisha is a genus of ray-finned fishes in the family Pristigasteridae. The genus contains 16 species. It is similar to Pellona but lacks a toothed hypo-maxilla. The genus has a worldwide distribution in tropical and subtropical coastal waters and estuaries. Some species also enter rivers, and I. amazonica and I. novacula are largely–if not entirely–restricted to tropical rivers.
Datnioides is a genus of fish known commonly as tigerfish, tiger perch or freshwater tripletails. It is the only genus in the family Datnioididae. These fish are found in fresh and brackish waters of rivers, estuaries and coastal areas in South and Southeast Asia, and New Guinea.
Lepidocephalus is a genus of loaches native to rivers in the Southeast Asian countries of Indonesia, Malaysia and Thailand. Members of this genus are known as "spirit loaches". They resemble the related kuhli loaches and Lepidocephalichthys loaches, but are more robust and generally found deep in large rivers. With little or no light in their habitat, their eyes and pigmentation are reduced to various extent. One species, L. spectrum, completely lacks pigment and eyes, similar to cavefish. They are generally poorly known, but based on the relatively few scientific museum specimens they can reach up to 8 cm (3.1 in) in standard length.
Crossocheilus, also known as the "algae eaters", is a genus of fish in the family Cyprinidae. It is distributed in China, India, Indonesia, Malaysia and Thailand in Asia. These fish occur in several types of habitat, often fast-flowing rivers with rocky bottoms.
Micronema is a genus of sheatfishes native to the Southeast Asian region.
Gladioglanis is a genus of three-barbeled catfishes native to South America.
Oryzias mekongensis is a species of fish in the family Adrianichthyidae. It is endemic to the Mekong River Basin in southeast Asia, where found in ditches, canals and ponds.
Pseudorhombus is a genus of large-tooth flounders. With the exception of P. binii found off Peru, species in this genus are native to the Indo-Pacific. The largest species reaches 40 cm (16 in) in length.
Hemisilurus heterorhynchus is a species of sheatfish first described by Pieter Bleeker in 1853. Hemisilurus heterorhynchus is part of the genus Hemisilurus and the family Siluridae.
Hemisilurus mekongensis is a species of sheatfish first described by Bornbusch and Lundberg in 1989. Hemisilurus mekongensis is part of the genus Hemisilurus and the family Siluridae.
