Dermogenys brachynotopterus, the Gangetic halfbeak, is a species of viviparous halfbeak.[1][2][3]
Distribution
The Gangetic halfbeak is native to India [1][2] and Bangladesh.[4] Although IUCN] and FishBase state that it is only known from the holotype discovered in the Hooghly estuary in West Bengal, India,[1][2]
IUCN postulates that Dermogenys brachynotopterus and Dermogenys burmanica could be the same species, with D. brachynotopterus having the taxonomic seniority.[1]
Habitat and biology
It is a pelagic species of fish, and inhabits the brackish waters of estuaries.[1][2]
