Description
Qi Su and co-authors read the genes of a small fish found only in one river basin in Tibet. The fish lives in the lower Yarlung Zangbo River, where quakes and human works threaten its home. Little was known about how its groups connect. Their 2026 study samples fifty fish from two places and reads two gene markers passed down through mothers.
The fish showed many gene variants but low depth of difference between them, a sign of a past growth in numbers. The two groups differed sharply from each other, and their gene types sorted by place on the map. One upstream group held less variety than the other. The split did not reach the level of separate species. The authors say the data give a first base line for guarding the fish.
