The present study inventorised the ichthyofaunal diversity of Nongkhyllem wildlife sanctuary and its adjacent areas in Ri-bhoi district of Meghalaya. A total of 39 species belonging to 25 genera, 14 families and 5 orders were documented. The aquatic bodies in the sanctuary and its adjacent areas served as an ideal habitat for the conservation of endangered species of fish (Tor putitora, Schistura sijuensis, Clarias magur and Pillaia indica).References

Microphis is a genus of pipefish within the family Syngnathidae and usually found in estuarine or freshwater habitats. The genus is characterized by having the lateral trunk ridge confluence with the inferior tail ridge, 9 caudal fin rays and presence of brood pouch located under the trunk. Dawson, 1984 reviewed the genus Microphis and recognized 5 sub-genera, 18 species and 4 subspecies of the species brachyurus. As per the Catalog of Fishes (Eschmeyer et al., 2016) 11 species of the genus Microphis are currently valid. Two species, Microphis deocata (Hamilton, 1822) and Microphis cuncalus (Hamilton, 1822) were recorded from the Indian region (Talwar and Jhingran, 1991).References
