The Jorai River in West Bengal, India, supports diverse flora and fauna within its freshwater ecosystem. Its underwater habitat features moderate to strong water flow, sandy and rocky substrates, and aquatic plants like Vallisneria sp. and Hygrophila sp., which provide shelter for species such as the drape fin barb.
The riparian zone, rich with bamboo, shrubs, and overhanging trees, sustains various wildlife in a subtropical climate influenced by monsoon rains. Human activities like fishing and agriculture pose threats, making conservation efforts essential to maintain the river’s ecological balance.
