Researchers from @ICAR_NBFGR_LKO has repeatedly violated copyright laws by using my images without proper credits. Last year in a journal (later retracted), now in a poster, soliciting @IUCNRedList species exchange for money. Such a shame !!

Horaglanis populi is tiny, blind & has a blood-red body. The name "populi" honors the contribution of the public in Kerala, who helped document the biodiversity of these subterranean fishes.
