Schistura globiceps is a species of ray-finned fish in the genus Schistura . It has only been collected from a single stream in the upper Nam Tha watershed in Laos where it was found under stones in a fast flowing hill stream. [1]
Schistura fasciolata is a species of ray-finned fish in the stone loach genus Schistura found fast-flowing streams in China and Vietnam. It can each a length of 12 cm (4.7 in).
Schistura huongensis is a species of ray-finned fish in the most speciose genus of the stone loach family Nemacheilidae, Schistura. It has been recorded from the drainage basins of the Perfume River and Cam Lo in central Vietnam. It can be found in the slack water upstream of riffles in medium-sized mountain rivers and streams with a fast current.
Schistura hingi is a species of ray-finned fish in the most speciose genus of stone loaches, Schistura. It occurs in the Pearl River basin of southeastern China and the coastal drainages in central Vietnam, it probably also occurs in the costal drainages of northern Vietnam too where it inhabits medium-sized rivers and streams where a substrate of rocks and gravel lies in riffles. The specific name honours a specimen collector, Ah Hing, whose efficiency in collecting for the botanist-ornithologist Geoffrey Herklots of Hong Kong University, Hing's patience and skill enabled Herre "to get many specimens”.
Schistura kohchangensis is a species of ray-finned fish, a stone loach, in the genus Schistura. It is found in moderately to fast flowing streams with gravel to stone substrates in eastern Thailand and Cambodia.
Schistura namboensis is a species of ray-finned fish, a stone loach, in the genus Schistura. It normally occurs in the rapids and riffles of medium-sized rivers and streams but it can also be found in reaches with a slow current and sandy substrate. This species appears to have some resistance to organic pollution and occurs in streams flowing through settlements, and is often the last fish species to remain in such streams. It is found in the coastal drainages in southern and central Vietnam and also in Laos in some rivers which rise there before flowing into Vietnam.
Schistura nomi is a species of ray-finned fish, a stone loach, in the genus Schistura. This species is found in streams which have a moderate to fast current, in riffles, where the bed consists of gravel to stone in the Kong River in Laos. The specific name honours a Mr Nom who was the describer, Maurice Kottelat's, driver in Laos.
Schistura novemradiata is a species of ray-finned fish, a stone loach, in the genus Schistura which has been recorded from a single locality in the upper Nam Tha watershed in Laos where it was found in a small stream over a substrate consisting of gravel and stone.
Schistura nudidorsum is a species of ray-finned fish, a stone loach, in the genus Schistura. This species has only been recorded from the drainage basins of the Nam Theun and Nam Gnouang, tributaries of the Mekong in Laos. It occurs in streams with a moderate to fast current and a substrate which varies from gravel to stone, in riffles. It is threatened by the construction of dams, as well as logging, deforestation, agriculture and gold mining.
Schistura paucicincta is a species of ray-finned fish, a stone loach, in the genus Schistura. It is only known from the Mae Nam Noi drainage, a tributary of the Salween River which forms the border between Thailand and Myanmar. This species inhabits streams with a moderate to fast current, in riffles, over beds varying from gravel to stone but it has also been recorded in small forest streams in very shallow water.
Schistura personata is a species of ray-finned fish, a stone loach, in the genus Schistura.It has only been recorded in the Nam San, a tributary of the Nam Ngum in the Mekong Basin of Laos where it can be found in moderately fast or fast flowing streams, among riffles, with a stone or gravel bed. Its population has been impacted by dams and by deforestation, agriculture and small scale gold mining and it is thought that it has declined.
Schistura pertica is a species of ray-finned fish, a stone loach, in the genus Schistura. It has only been recorded once, in 1997, from a very small stream entering the Nam Ou River, downstream of the Muang Khoa River in northern Laos, it is expected to occur elsewhere in the Nam Ou drainage. It was observed in streams with a moderate to fast current, in riffles, over beds varying from gravel to stone
Schistura pervagata is a species of ray-finned fish, a stone loach, in the genus Schistura. The species occurs in Laos and Vietnam in streams with moderately fast to fast currents among riffles where there are substrates which vary from gravel to stone.
Schistura prashadi is a species of ray-finned fish, a stone loach, in the genus Schistura. Some authorities place it in the genus Physoschistura It is known from just three localities in the Chindwin River drainage in Manipur, India. It is a benthic species of hill streams, preferring well oxygenated, clear, flowing water.
Schistura rupecula is a species of ray-finned fish, a stone loach, in the genus Schistura. It is distributed through the eastern Himalayas from North Bengal through Bihar, Himachal Pradesh, Uttaranchal and Uttar Pradesh in India and into Nepal. Its habitat is hill streams with pebbly stream beds while adults are often found in shallow water riffles and spring pools. The specific name rupecula means "rock dweller" which was given to the species by its describer John McClelland in reference to the hill streams around Simla from where the type specimens were collected. It is the type species of the genus Schistura.
Schistura russa is a species of ray-finned fish, a stone loach, in the genus Schistura. It is known from only two locations in the Nam Tha drainage system in Laos where it is found in streams with a moderate to fast flow in riffles with pebble or stone stream beds.
Schistura sertata is a species of ray-finned fish, a stone loach, in the genus Schistura. It is only found in the Nam Xi, a small stream near Luang Prabang in Laos, where it was found between tree roots and among leaf litter within the stream.
Schistura sexcauda is a species of ray-finned fish, a stone loach, in the genus Schistura. It is found in the basin of the Chao Phraya River in central Thailand where it has been recorded in streams with a moderate to fast current, in riffles, over substrates consisting of gravel to stone. Some authorities regard Schistura fowleriana as a synonym of this species.
Schistura sombooni is a species of ray-finned fish, a stone loach, in the genus Schistura. It is found only in the Mekong drainage system in Laos where it occurs in stretches of streams with a relatively slow current and a gravel or sandy stream bed. The specific name honours Somboon Phetphommasouk a liaison engineer with the Nam Theun 2 Electricity Consortium of Vientiane who rendered assistance and help in the field to the describer of this species, Maurice Kottelat.
Schistura waltoni is a species of ray-finned fish, a stone loach, in the genus Schistura. It is a species of in streams which have a moderate to fast current where it can be found in riffles, over gravel to rock beds. It is often recorded in small streams in forest, even where the water is very shallow. It occurs in the upper reaches the Chao Phraya watershed in Thailand in the rivers Mae Nam Ping, Mae Nam Wang and Mae Nam Yom. The specific name honours Joseph Walton a 19th Century contributor to the fish collection at the Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia.
Schistura kodaguensis is a species of ray-finned fish, a stone loach, in the genus Schistura. This species has been recorded from a single stream with a swift current and gravel bottom in the Cauvery River system in Karnataka, India.
