Poropuntius hathe is a species of ray-finned fish in the genus Poropuntius . It is a poorly known species and it is thought to be restricted to tributaries of the lower Salween basin in western Thailand and eastern Myanmar.
Poropuntius is a genus of cyprinid fish found mainly in freshwater habitats of Southeast Asia and Yunnan in China, but P. burtoni is from South Asia. Several species have highly restricted ranges and are threatened, and a single P. speleops is a cavefish.
Poropuntius schanicus is a species of ray-finned fish in the genus Poropuntius. It is found in Salween Basin.
Poropuntius bantamensis is a species of ray-finned fish in the genus Poropuntius which is known with certainty only from the upper Chao Phraya basin in Thailand.
Poropuntius bolovenensis is a species of ray-finned fish in the genus Poropuntius. This species is endemic to the eastern half of the Boloven Plateau in southern Laos where its numbers are decreasing under heavy fishing pressure. However, the biggest threat to this species is the construction of dams which are likely to have a significant impact on this species. In addition the quality and area of its habitat is declining due to conversion for agriculture. The IUCN assess P. bolovensis as Endangered. This species occurs in clear, rocky streams at altitudes of 800–1,200 m above sea level where it feeds mainly on insects. It does not thrive in reservoirs. It is not a true migrant but it does make local movements. It is targeted by subsistence fisheries.
Poropuntius carinatus is a species of ray-finned fish in the genus Poropuntius from the upper Mekong drainage in Yunnan, Laos, Thailand and probably Myanmar.
Poropuntius chonglingchungi is a species of ray-finned fish in the genus Poropuntius. The species is only known from Fuxian Lake in Yunnan; it enters streams for spawning. It has been impacted by introduced species, the loss of spawning habitat, and over-fishing. It has not been recorded since the 1980s; IUCN considers it as Critically Endangered and possibly extinct.
Poropuntius consternans is a species of ray-finned fish in the genus Poropuntius which is endemic to the eastern half of the Bolovens Plateau in southern Laos. Its numbers are thought to be decreasing due to heavy fishing pressure, but the biggest threat to this species are the planned dams, Xe, Pian-Xe and Namnoy, which are to be built within the next few years and which are likely to have a significant impact on this species. In addition, there is continuing decline in the quality as the surrounding land is converted to agriculture. The IUCN assess Poropuntius consternans as Endangered.
Poropuntius faucis is a species of ray-finned fish in the genus Poropuntius which occurs in hill streams in the upper Chao Phraya basin in northern Thailand.
Poropuntius genyognathus is a species of ray-finned fish in the genus Poropuntius from the lower Salween and Tenasserim river drainages in southeastern Myanmar and from Peninsular Thailand.
Poropuntius hampaloides is a species of ray-finned fish in the genus Poropuntius which is found in the Salween drainage of southern Myanmar.
Poropuntius heterolepidotus is a species of ray-finned fish in the genus Poropuntius. It is a little known species and it is restricted to smaller tributaries of the lower Salween basin in Thailand and Myanmar.
Poropuntius huangchuchieni is a species of ray-finned fish in the genus Poropuntius which is found in the upper Mekong River basin and the Red River basin in the Yunnan. It may also occur in these rivers in Laos and northern Vietnam.
Poropuntius kontumensis is a species of ray-finned fish in the genus Poropuntius. This species is native to Cambodia and Viet Nam. Its species named after Kontum.
Poropuntius krempfi is a species of ray-finned fish in the genus Poropuntius from the Red River drainage in Vietnam and Yunnan, and from the Ma River drainage in Vietnam and Laos.
Poropuntius laoensis is a species of ray-finned fish in the genus Poropuntius from the Mekong in Myanmar, Thailand, Laos and Vietnam. It is found in clear forested streams and is not found in large rivers. Id does not persist in impoundments and is not known to migrate. It feeds mainly on insect larvae.
Poropuntius lobocheiloides is a species of ray-finned fish in the genus Poropuntius which is endemic to tributaries of the Xe Kong River on the eastern half of the Bolovens Plateau in southern Laos. Its numbers are thought to be decreasing due to heavy fishing pressure, but the biggest threat to this species are the planned dams, Xe Pian and Xe Namoy, which are to be built within the next few years and which are likely to have a significant impact on this species. In addition, there is continuing decline in the quality as the surrounding land is converted to agriculture. The IUCN assess Poropuntius lobocheiloides as Endangered.
Poropuntius melanogrammus is a species of ray-finned fish in the genus Poropuntius from the drainage of the Maeklong and nearby regions of western Thailand.
Poropuntius normani is a species of ray-finned fish in the genus Poropuntius which occurs in hill streams and near waterfalls in the upland reaches of river drainages in eastern Thailand, Western Cambodia, the Kong River in Laos and in north central Vietnam. It is common and although threatened by habitat destruction through deforestation it is assessed as Least Concern by the IUCN. It is sometimes eaten but is not a specific target of fisheries and is sometimes turns up in the aquarium trade.
Poropuntius shanensis is a species of ray-finned fish in the genus Poropuntius which is found in rivers, streams, and possibly in swampy areas in Myanmar where it is found in Inle Lake and in Hsipaw. It has also been recorded from the drainage of the Salween in Yunnan. It can be found in local markets and is fished for by subsistence fisheries.
Poropuntius speleops is a vulnerable species of ray-finned fish in the genus Poropuntius. It is found only in underground streams in a single cave in the Phu Khieo Wildlife Sanctuary in Thailand. Like other cavefish, it has reduced pigmentation and eyes. It is threatened by poaching for food and the aquarium trade, although the population is stable.
