Schistura deansmarti

Schistura deansmarti is a species of ray-finned fish in the stone loach genus Schistura . It is found in cave streams in a karst landscape in the Thung Salaeng Luang National Park of Phitsanulok Province where it lives mainly on the stream beds and feeds on organic material and micro-organisms. [1] The specific name honors the British speleologist who collected the original specimens and who works for the conservation of caves in Thailand. [3]
