Triplophysa gerzeensis is a species of stone loach in the genus Triplophysa . It is endemic to Tibet. [1]
Triplophysa is a genus of fish in the family Nemacheilidae found mainly in and around the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau in China. Currently, the genus is a mixed assemblage of species. Some lineages have been identified and treated as subgenera, but as Wikipedia follows Fishbase for fish species all but Hedinichthys have been treated as subgenera in Wikipedia, although Kottelat in his revision of the loaches did recognise them as valid. FishBase, however, includes these in Triplophysa without specifying subgenera and treats the names given by Kottelat as synonyms.
Triplophysa aliensis is a species of stone loach in the genus Triplophysa endemic to Tibet. It grows to 10.4 cm (4.1 in) SL. Its name refers to Ali, Tibet, its type locality.
Triplophysa arnoldii is a species of stone loach in the genus Triplophysa. It is endemic to Mongolia. It grows to 7 cm (2.8 in) SL.
Triplophysa bleekeri is a species of stone loach in the genus Triplophysa. It is endemic to China. It grows to 8.2 cm (3.2 in) TL. Having a wide distribution across the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, it lives in fast-flowing rivers from 200 to 3,000m in altitude. Being an unusual species inhabiting high-altitude regions, it is an excellent model to investigate the genetic mechanisms of adaptation to the local environment. With this in mind a chromosomal-scale genome assembly was sequenced and assembled with a genome size of ∼628 Mb. This data finding that the Triplophysa genus likely diverged when the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau elevated by >4,000 m roughly 40 million years ago.
Triplophysa coniptera is a species of stone loach in the genus Triplophysa. It occurs in the Talas River basin, Kyrgyzstan, and the middle Syr Darya basin, Uzbekistan. The latter population may qualify as the subspecies salari.
Triplophysa crassilabris is a species of stone loach in the genus Triplophysa. It is endemic to China and was first described from the Xiaman Lake, Sichuan.
Triplophysa flavicorpus is a species of stone loach in the genus Triplophysa endemic to the Hongshui River in Guangxi, China. It grows to 10.4 cm (4.1 in) SL.
Triplophysa furva is a species of stone loach in the genus Triplophysa endemic to China. It was first described from near Ürümqi, Xinjiang.
Triplophysa gracilis is a species of stone loach in the genus Triplophysa. It is found in Pakistan, India, and China. It grows to 11 cm (4.3 in) SL and lives in standing waters and deeper parts of rivers.
Triplophysa intermedia is a species of ray-finned fish in the genus Triplophysa. The species has only been found in Hulun Lake in Inner Mongolia, China; but is believed to appear in other locations as well since fish in this genus are typically found in running water.
Triplophysa longipectoralis is a cave-living species of stone loach with vestigial eyes. The fish lives in clear water at temperatures below 20 °C. The holotype was caught in Xunle town, Huanjiang Maonan Autonomous County in the Liu River basin, Guangxi, China and was described by Zheng et al. in 2009.
Triplophysa microphysa is a species of ray-finned fish in the genus Triplophysa.
Triplophysa moquensis is a species of ray-finned fish in the genus Triplophysa. It is endemic to Xiaman Lake, Sichuan, although it might occur more widely.
Triplophysa obtusirostra is a species of ray-finned fish in the genus Triplophysa. It is endemic to Qinghai province, China, near the origin of the Yellow River.
Triplophysa siluroides is a large species of stone loach, which is endemic to the upper parts of the Yellow River basin in the Chinese provinces of Qinghai, Gansu and Sichuan.
Triplophysa stenura is a species of ray-finned fish in the genus Triplophysa. It lives in swift-flowing streams and is known from the Upper Yangtze, Upper Mekong, Upper Salween and Upper Brahmaputra river drainages in China and Vietnam. Whether this apparently widespread species really is one species needs to be studied. It grows to 13.8 cm (5.4 in) SL.
Triplophysa turpanensis is a species of stone loach in the genus Triplophysa. It is endemic to Xinjiang in extreme western China. It grows to 7.7 cm (3.0 in) SL.
Triplophysa xiangshuingensis is a species of ray-finned fish in the genus Triplophysa endemic to Yunnan, China.
Triplophysa xichangensis is a species of ray-finned fish in the genus Triplophysa. It is found in Sichuan and Yunnan provinces in China.
