THE IUCN RED LIST OF THREATENED SPECIES™ Taxonomy Kingdom Phylum Class Order Family Animalia Chordata Actinopterygii Cypriniformes Cyprinidae Taxon Name: Garra flavatra Kullander & Fang, 2004 Taxonomic Notes: Kullander and Fang (2004) described Garra flavatra from Rakhine Yoma, Myanmar. Nebeshwar et al. (2009) recognised it as a valid species. Assessment Information Red List Category & Criteria: Vulnerable B1ab(iii); D2 ver 3.1 Year Published: 2010 Date Assessed: February 17, 2010 Justification: Garra flavatra has a restricted range of less than 15,000 km2. It is known only from three localities in the Rakhinine Yoma in southern Myanmar, although more surveys are needed to confirm other localities. The area is threatened by agricultural siltation, the construction of dams in the future and the impact of collection for the aquarium trade requires research. The species is therefore assessed as Near Threatened. Geographic Range Range Description: Garra flavatra is known only from Myanmar at three locations namely, western slope of Rakhine Yoma, the Kananmae Chaung, Baw Di Chaung and Kamyit Chaung. Endemic to the Rakhine Yoma/Arakan mountain range in Rakhine state, western Myanmar which forms a natural barrier cutting off the state from the remainder of the country. It was originally collected from a handful of streams and rivers of the western, interior, slopes of which the type specimens originated from the Kananmae Chaung, a coastal rivulet draining into the Bay of Bengal (Kullander and Fang 2004); abundant where encountered and almost certainly has a wider distribution; his team had only four days in which to complete their fieldwork which proved insufficient to explore the region fully. Subsequent commercial collections may therefore have occurred at localities additional to those given in the description paper.

Current Population Trend: Unknown Habitat and Ecology (see Appendix for additional information) Garra flavatra inhabits small streams and rivers with clear water and pebbles or rocky bed. Kullander and Fang (2004) reported that the type localities, the Kananmae Chaung are small forest streams with almost stagnant to slow flowing water current, which reduced to a series of connected pools with a combined width of 2 to 3 m and not more than 1 m deep. They further remarked that, the Kamyit Chaung, was a moderately large river in a riparian agricultural environment. On the other hand the Baw Di Chaung, was a small river between hills covered with secondary low shrub forest. Systems: Freshwater Use and Trade (see Appendix for additional information) The species is used in the aquarium trade. Threats (see Appendix for additional information) This fish inhabits small streams which are reduced to a series of connected pools with a combined width of 2 to 3 m and not more than 1 m deep. Such types of habitats may dry up during winter seasons. Even though, the Kamyit Chaung, was a moderately large river; it is in a riparian agricultural environment which may receive discharge from the surrounding agricultural fields. This area is also threatened by the construction of dams which will degrade the habitats. Conservation Actions (see Appendix for additional information) Further survey work is needed to determine whether or not this species is experiencing a decline, or is undergoing extreme population fluctuations.
