Opsarius cocsa is a species of cyprinid fish endemic to India.
A tuna is a saltwater fish that belongs to the tribe Thunnini, a subgrouping of the Scombridae (mackerel) family. The Thunnini comprise 15 species across five genera, the sizes of which vary greatly, ranging from the bullet tuna up to the Atlantic bluefin tuna, which averages 2 m (6.6 ft) and is believed to live up to 50 years.
Mackerel is a common name applied to a number of different species of pelagic fish, mostly from the family Scombridae. They are found in both temperate and tropical seas, mostly living along the coast or offshore in the oceanic environment.
Herring are forage fish, mostly belonging to the family of Clupeidae.
The term carp is a generic common name for numerous species of freshwater fish from the family Cyprinidae, a very large clade of ray-finned fish mostly native to Eurasia. While carp are prized quarries and are valued as both food and ornamental fish in many parts of the Old World, they are generally considered useless trash fish and invasive pests in many parts of Africa, Australia and most of the United States.
The Chao Phraya is the major river in Thailand, with its low alluvial plain forming the centre of the country. It flows through Bangkok and then into the Gulf of Thailand.
Sardine and pilchard are common names for various species of small, oily forage fish in the herring family Clupeidae. The term sardine was first used in English during the early 15th century; a somewhat dubious folk etymology says it comes from the Italian island of Sardinia, around which sardines were once supposedly abundant.
The billfish are a group of saltwater predatory fish characterised by prominent pointed bills (rostra), and by their large size; some are longer than 4 m (13 ft). Extant billfish include sailfish and marlin, which make up the family Istiophoridae; and swordfish, sole member of the family Xiphiidae. They are often apex predators which feed on a wide variety of smaller fish, crustaceans and cephalopods. These two families are sometimes classified as belonging to the order Istiophoriformes, a group which originated around 71 million years ago in the Late Cretaceous, with the two families diverging around 15 million years ago in the Late Miocene. However, they are also classified as being closely related to the mackerels and tuna within the suborder Scombroidei of the order Perciformes. However, the 5th edition of the Fishes of the World does recognise the Istiophoriformes as a valid order, albeit including the Sphyraenidae, the barracudas.
The green chromide is a species of cichlid fish that is native to fresh and brackish water habitats in some parts in India such as Kerala, Goa, Chilika Lake in Odisha and Sri Lanka. The species was first described by Marcus Elieser Bloch in 1790. This species and other members of the genus Etroplus are relatively closely related to the Paretroplus cichlids from Madagascar.
An anchovy is a small, common forage fish of the family Engraulidae. Most species are found in marine waters, but several will enter brackish water, and some in South America are restricted to fresh water.
The Barna baril is a fish in genus Opsarius of the family Cyprinidae. It is found in India, Nepal, Bangladesh and Myanmar.
Opsarius bernatziki is a fish in the Opsarius genus of the family Cyprinidae. It is found in Thailand, Southeast Myanmar, and the Malay Peninsula. It is associated with a freshwater habitat and can grow up to 9.1 cm.
Barilius caudiocellatus is a fish in genus Barilius of the family Cyprinidae. It is found in China.
Opsarius koratensis is a fish in genus Opsarius of the family Cyprinidae. It is found in the Mekong and Chao Phraya basins and can reach 10 cm (3.9 in) SL.
Barilius ornatus is a fish in genus Barilius of the family Cyprinidae.
Opsarius tileo is a fish in genus Opsarius of the family Cyprinidae which is found in India, Bangladesh and Nepal, and probably Myanmar.
Opsarius is a genus of fish. Its representatives can be found in a variety of countries in South East Asia. These countries include Cambodia, Laos, Thailand, Myanmar, India, and China. Certain species of Opsarius are considered endemic to their respective habitats; such as Opsarius cocsa and Opsariusmaculatus which are endemic to India.
Opsarius pulchellus, is a species of fish in the family Cyprinidae, with the largest individual recorded being 11 cm long.
