Hypsibarbus is a genus of cyprinid fish that is found in freshwater in Mainland Southeast Asia, including the Thai-Malay Peninsula.
Synbranchiformes, often called swamp eels, is an order of ray-finned fishes that are eel-like but have spiny rays, indicating that they belong to the superorder Acanthopterygii.
A barb is one of various ray-finned fish species in a non-phylogenetic group, with members in the family Cyprinidae, and especially the genera Barbus and Puntius, but many others also. They were formerly united with the barbels in the subfamily Barbinae but that group is paraphyletic with the Cyprininae. If the Labeoninae are recognized as distinct, many small African "barbs" would probably, however, warrant recognition as a new subfamily.
Oreoglanis is a genus of fish in the family Sisoridae native to Asia. These fish live in fast-flowing streams in China, mainland Southeast Asia and the Indian subcontinent. They are mainly distributed in the Mekong, upper Salween and Irrawaddy River drainages. They range from the Brahmaputra basin to the Lam River drainage in central Vietnam. They are easily distinguished from other catfishes by their strongly depressed head and body and greatly enlarged paired fins that have been modified to form an adhesive apparatus. The flattened shape of these fish and the large pectoral and pelvic fins provide essential adhesion in the fast-flowing waters they live in.
Akysis is the largest genus of catfishes of the family Akysidae.
Hemibagrus wyckioides, the Asian redtail catfish, is a species of catfish of the family Bagridae.
Hemibagrus is a genus of catfishes of the family Bagridae.
The giant salmon carp, also termed the Mekong giant salmon carp, is a species of freshwater fish in the family Cyprinidae and the single species in the monotypic genus Aaptosyax. It is endemic to the middle reaches of the Mekong River in northern Cambodia, Laos and Thailand. Its population is much reduced (>90%) as a result of overfishing and habitat degradation, and it is now considered Critically Endangered.
Neolissochilus is a genus of fish in the family Cyprinidae native to freshwater habitats in Asia that are often grouped with the mahseers. The largest reach up to 1.2 m (3.9 ft) in length, but most species are much smaller.
Pseudobagarius is a genus of catfishes of the family Akysidae.
Goldfin tinfoil barb is a species of cyprinid fish that is found in Southeast Asia. It is native to the countries of Cambodia, Laos, Malaysia and Thailand where it is used as a food fish and in the aquarium trade.
Hypsibarbus annamensis is a species of ray-finned fish in the genus Hypsibarbus. It was described in 1936 from specimens taken from the Huong River in central Vietnam, a river which enters the South China Sea at Huế. There have been no records since and the IUCN classify the fish as Data Deficient as more information is required to ensure the validity of the species, other speciemsn collected since the type specimen have proved to have been misidentifications.
Hypsibarbus lagleri is a species of ray-finned fish in the genus Hypsibarbus which is endemic to the middle Mekong basin in Cambodia, Laos and Thailand. It is fished for as a food fish and marketed fresh.
Hypsibarbus myitkyinae is a species of ray-finned fish in the genus Hypsibarbus from the upper Irrawaddy River drainage, as well as the Bago River drainage in Myanmar.
Hypsibarbus pierrei is a species of freshwater ray-finned fish in the genus Hypsibarbus native to rivers in Mainland Southeast Asia.
Hypsibarbus suvattii is a species of ray-finned fish in the genus Hypsibarbus which has only been recorded with certainty from the Mae Klong in Thailand. It is a big-sized cyprinid, reaching 50 cm (19 in) SL, but it is rare species. The specific name honours Thai ichthyologist Chote Suvatti, former professor of Kasetsart University, who is one of the pioneers of fisheries in Thailand.
Hypsibarbus vernayi is a species of cyprinid fish in the genus Hypsibarbus. The specific name references Arthur S. Vernay, an English adventurer who collected the type specimen.
Parachela maculicauda is a freshwater fish in the genus Parachela, family Cyprinidae and order Cypriniformes. It occurs in lowland rivers and swamps in small groups. Found at the water surface in small and medium-sized rivers with nearby areas of floodplain forest. Feeds on plankton. It is found in the basins of the Mekong River and Chao Praya as well as the Malay Peninsula and on the island of Sumatra and in Sarawak, it has also been possibly recorded from the Mae Klong It is a small fish growing to a maximum length of 6 cm and is characterised by two blotches near the tips of each lobe of the caudal fin. It is of limited interest in fisheries but is used to make prahok. It is also of little interest to the aquarium trade.
Mystus atrifasciatus is a species of catfish endemic to Cambodia, Laos, Thailand and Vietnam, known from Mekong River, Chao Phraya River and Mae Klong River and was described from Phitsanulok, Thailand. It inhabits rivers, streams and reservoirs and moves to floodplains when the water level increases and can also be found near submerged woody vegetation. It feeds on crustaceans and zooplankton along with some algae and fish scales. It is commonly fished and marketed and is also found in the aquarium trade. It may be threatened by pollution and overfishing and more research is needed about the species.
Hypsibarbus oatesii is a species of freshwater ray-finned fish from the carp and minnow family, the Cyprinidae. It is found in the southern Shan Hills in Myanmar in the Salween River. It is caught for food in subsistence fisheries. The specific name honours Eugene William Oates who collected the type specimen.
Chote Suvatti was a Thai ichthyologist. He worked at the Department of Fisheries during its foundational years, and became a professor at Kasetsart University and the dean of its Faculty of Fisheries. He did pioneering work cataloguing Thailand's fish species, introducing the science of taxonomy to the field in Thailand.
