Labeo dussumieri (Malabar Labeo) is fish in genus Labeo known to occur in west-flowing rivers of the Western Ghats. [2] Earlier Sri Lankan population was considered as the same species as L. dussumieri, recent phylogenetic and physiological differences suggest that Sri Lankan population is a distinct species, Labeo heladiva .. [3]

Named in honor of Jean-Jacques Dussumier (1792-1883), French voyager and merchant, whose account of this species is the basis of Valenciennes’ description. [4]

Osteobrama belangeri is a species of ray-finned fish in the genus Osteobrama. It was found in the Indian state of Manipur, but has been extirpated there and as of 2022 is found in the wild only in Myanmar. Farmed populations in Manipur and wild-caught fish from in Myanmar are used as food. The extirpation from Manipur was caused by dam building, habitat degradation and the introduction of alien species which caused the populations to fragment.

Ptychidio jordani, the ratmouth barbel, is a species of freshwater, ray-finned fish from the carp family, Cyprinidae. It is endemic to the Pearl River drainage system, purported records from Taiwan being considered extremely doubtful. It has been a highly sought species for fisheries but the population has declined to such an extent that it is now rarely caught and the damming of its native streams and rivers is now the chief threat to this species. This species is found in fast flowing, clear, streams and rivers flowing over gravel substrates, spawning in rapids. It is a demersal species which feeds on molluscs and algae. It is now a protected species in Yunnan but this little known species requires further research to determine how best to conserve it. It grows to a maximum size of 33 cm (13 in). The specific name jordani was applied by George S. Myers in honor of ichthyologist David Starr Jordan in appreciation of his friendship and kindness to Myers.
