Neolissochilus compressus is a species of cyprinid in the genus Neolissochilus . [1] It inhabits Myanmar. [1]
Mahseer is the common name used for the genera Tor, Neolissochilus, Naziritor and Parator in the family Cyprinidae (carps). The name is, however, more often restricted to members of the genus Tor. The range of these fish is from Vietnam in the north and China in the south, through Laos, Cambodia, Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, and across southern Asia including the Indian Peninsula, Sri Lanka, Pakistan and Afghanistan. They are commercially important game fish, as well as highly esteemed food fish. Mahseer fetch high market price, and are potential candidate species for aquaculture. Several of the larger species have suffered severe declines, and are now considered threatened due to pollution, habitat loss, overfishing and increasing concern about the impacts of unregulated release of artificially bred stock of a very limited number of species.
Axonopus compressus is a species of grass. It is often used as a permanent pasture, groundcover, and turf in moist, low fertility soils, particularly in shaded situations. It is generally too low-growing to be useful in cut-and-carry systems or for fodder conservation.
Neolissochilus thienemanni is a species of ray-finned fish in the family Cyprinidae. It is found only in Lake Toba in Sumatra, Indonesia.
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.

Neolissochilus hendersoni is a species of cyprinid in the genus Neolissochilus. It lives in the Malay Peninsula.
Due to very confusing morphological similarities with the related species Neolissochilus soroides, further work is needed to correctly identify between these species. There may even be a case for describing some of these morphs as distinct, new species.
