New fish species discovered in Manipur
Eastern Mirror | Imphal, November 28
A new fish species of torrent minnow has been discovered yet again from India’s North Eastern state of Manipur. The new species Psilorhynchus konemi locally known as ‘Ngathanu’ in Anal tribe dialect was discovered by a research team of Manipur University’s Department of Life Sciences (fishery unit) from the Chakpi River in Manipur’s Chandel district bordering Myanmar.
“We’ve submitted our paper last year but it was accepted only this month following a thorough examination by the reviewers,” says key researcher Bungdon Shangningam who named the fish in memory of her late father BD Konemi for the continuous support during their research. “So far I have discovered three such species from Chakpi alone which means this river could be an ideal habitat for them.”
