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 !!

25% of world's #freshwater #fish threatened with extinction!
The much awaited 2023 update of the @IUCNRedList highlights the declining state of global FW fish biodiversity 🐟

Aenigmachanna gollum, is listed as Vulnerable in IUCN Redlist.

[Rajeev Raghavan @LabRajeev]

The enigmatic #subterranean 'gollum snakehead' finds its way into the @IUCNRedList due to restricted range + ongoing threats + decline in area and quality of habitats.
Will a 100 million year old fish survive the #anthropocene?

📢 New #catfish species discovered in the aquifers of #India.
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.

This is why the laterite zones of Kerala is known as the "Hotspot of Subterranean fishes"

[Rajeev Raghavan @LabRajeev]

The joy of being informed of a bucket full of #Horaglanis, the blind, aquifer-dwelling catfish from a homestead well!
Horaglanis populi is therefore a fitting tribute to the common public who have helped us taste success with this interesting project!

Introducing Horaglanis populi- A new blind catfish from the laterite aquifers of Kerala. Named “populi” to honour the contributions of people of Kerala, who informed us about the presence of subterranean fishes in their wells and for sharing them for the study.
