Ecology Summary - Nemacheilus stigmofasciatus

Language:

Main Ref.	Arunachalam, M. and M. Muralidharan, 2009
Remarks	The Seethanathi is a small west-flowing river in Karnataka with many cascades and waterfalls in the upstream portion. The elevation of the stream at the type locality is 199m above sea level. The habitat in the study area is dominated by the presence of pebbles and boulders, gravels are lesser, sand constitutes about 5% of the total substrate. Riparian cover is about 20% and gradient is 3% and the banks are highly stable, left bank with thick vegetation while right bank is sparsely vegetated. Feeding was not observed in the field. Gut content were not examinated due to the lesser number of specimens collected (Ref. 80640)
