- Underwater landscape
Sand, stones, pebbles, logs, leaves, and branches.
4 Gachua sp. and 2 Chuna sp.
50 Ceratophyllum demersum plants.
- Threats to ecology
The greatest danger to the river is the erosion and siltation of the river as a result of the construction of the Subansiri dam on this river. Also, industry and agroculture are threatening the area.

Comment by the expert
Friedrich Bitter: Good biotope description with few photos. Unfortunately no information about the endangerment level.
Sven Kullander: Well researched, but I am concerned about the use of predatory journals among which International Journal of Fisheries and Aquatic Studies was placed by Raghvan et al (2015). This means pay-to publish without peer revieew. On the other hand the biotope described is fairly common in the region. The number of fish species is less than expected, but that is a restriction due to the aquarium limitations that must be accepted
