"This book is non-fiction at its best written in the form of a story where we feel like we're going on a journey ourselves. There's so much to discuss – food chains, migratory fish, water pollution, importance of dams, problems posed by dams." @aidypinder

Many thanks for sharing this @LeoDiCaprio
Diverse, freshwater fish are critical for societies, economies and ecosystems - but they are undervalued and under threat. This report from organizations including @WWF and @Global_Wildlife explains why we must act now to save them:

Incredibly honored to have been invited to contribute to this new @wwf report on behalf of @MahseerTrust. The world's #ForgottenFishes are vital for people & nature and need YOU now! Please do take the time to read and share widely. bit.ly/2ZUNgQR
They're the world's #ForgottenFishes - we need to remember how important they are to people & nature before it's too late.
New report out now from 16 global conservation groups

A global perspective on the influence of the COVID-19 pandemic on fres... sciencedirect.com/science/ar… This time last year I wouldn’t have dreamed I’d be co-authoring a paper (with an amazing international team) on the influence of a global pandemic on FW fish. Strange times indeed!

How did anglers contribute to the conservation of one of the world's largest FW fish? Read all about it and a new hope for the Critically Endangered hump-backed mahseer in our new (open access) paper bit.ly/32GTWUH
@Shoal_Org @WWFLeadWater @fishmigration @wileyecology
Can’t wait to resume project activity.
The Critically Endangered hump-backed mahseer - the 'Tiger of the Water' - plays a pivotal role in keeping nature's balance in check across its Southern India range.

After the amount of work that went into this global review of Mahseer fishes of the World, I’m over the moon to learn there has been so much interest in what we currently do and don’t know about Mahseer.
Pleased to see that our review on '#mahseers of the world' is one of the top three accessed articles in @RFBFisheries during the last year

Thank you @bahardutt for bringing this to public attention. And for the opportunity to provide comment on yet another example of the systematic destruction of critical mahseer habitat throughout the Himalayas.
The Lakhwar dam on the Yamuna has been cleared, ignoring laws. The largest dam on the river, built in a quake-prone biodiversity hotspot, will risk one of the few habitats left for the endangered golden mahseer. @bahardutt reports
