Abstract excerpt
Schizothorax richardsonii (Gray, 1832), commonly known as snow trout, is a widely consumed food fish in the cold-water drainages of the Himalayas and serves as a significant source of animal protein for communities living along the riverbanks. This study examined morphological and genetic variations in six stocks of S. richardsonii from the Ganga and Chenab river systems in the Central and Western Indian...
