Batasio is a genus of catfish of the family Bagridae. These small fish are found in fast-flowing hillstreams throughout South and mainland Southeast Asia.

Taxonomy

Batasio was first described by Edward Blyth in 1860 with Batasio buchanani (a needless renaming of Batasio batasio) designated as type.[1] B. pakistanicus, described in 1989, is tentativelly placed in Batasio, but its generic placement is questionable.[2][3]

Species

There are currently 18 recognized species in this genus:

  • Batasio affinis Blyth, 1860
  • Batasio batasio (F. Hamilton, 1822)
  • Batasio convexirostrum Darshan, Anganthoibi & Vishwanath, 2011 [2]
  • Batasio dayi (Vinciguerra, 1890)
  • Batasio elongatus H. H. Ng, 2004 [3]
  • Batasio fasciolatus H. H. Ng, 2006 [4]
  • Batasio feruminatus H. H. Ng & Kottelat, 2008 [5]
  • Batasio flavus Plamoottil, 2015 [6]
  • Batasio fluviatilis (F. Day, 1888)
  • Batasio macronotus H. H. Ng & Edds, 2004 [7]
  • Batasio merianiensis (B. L. Chaudhuri, 1913)
  • Batasio pakistanicus Mirza & M. A. Jan, 1989
  • Batasio procerus H. H. Ng, 2008 [8]
  • Batasio sharavatiensis Bhatt & Jayaram, 2004 [9]
  • Batasio spilurus H. H. Ng, 2006 [4]
  • Batasio tengana (F. Hamilton, 1822)
  • Batasio tigrinus H. H. Ng & Kottelat, 2001
  • Batasio travancoria Hora & N. C. Law, 1941

Distribution

Batasio species are generally found throughout South and mainland Southeast Asia.[3] B. affinis is found in Myanmar.[10] B. fluviatilis is found in Northern Malay Peninsula.[11] B. tigrinus is also recorded from Thailand.[12] B. dayi originates from the Salween and Irrawaddy River drainages in Myanmar.[13] B. elongatus is found in southwestern Myanmar.[3] B. macronotus originates from eastern Nepal.[7] B. pakistanicus is found in the Indus River.[14] B. batasio also originates from northern India where it shares its habitat with Mystus vittatus.[21] B. fasciolatus is known from the Tista River drainage, a tributary of the Brahmaputra River.[4] B. merianiensis is found in the Brahmaputra River drainage.[4] B. sharavatiensis originates from the Sharavati River in Uttara Kannada, Karnataka.[9] B. spilurus is known from the Brahmaputra River drainage in the vicinity of Dibrugarh.[4] B. tengana is known from the Ganges and the Brahmaputra River drainages; it is apparently restricted to upper reaches of larger rivers.[4] B. travancoria is distributed in the Chittar, Kallada and Pamba Rivers in southern Kerala and is considered a rare species.[9]

Appearance and anatomy

Batasio species typically have enlarged sensory pores on their head, laterally compressed heads and bodies, and at least 35 vertebrae.[4] B. tengana, B. pakistanicus and B. spilurus differ from other Batasio species in that their adipose fin is much shorter.[4] These fish are small catfish.[3] B. pakistanicus and B. spilurus are the smallest species, reaching only {{convert|35|mm}} SL and {{cvt|45|mm}} SL respectively.[4] The other species range from {{cvt|55|-|101|mm}} SL.[4]B. affinis, B. dayi, and B. fluviatilis have bars or bands, spots or stripes, and are not plain-bodied.[9] B. pakistanicus has a black humeral spot with a dark streak on the dorsum.[9] B. batasio has a dark stripe along the lateral line and another above.[9] B. batasio does not exceed 10 centimetres (4 in).[21] B. fasciolatus and B. tigrinus are the only Batasio species in which the adult colouration consists of five or six vertical dark brown bars on a light brown body.[4] B. tengana has bands descending from the dorsal surface to the lateral line.[9] B. travancoria has a lateral stripe along the lateral line and a faint shoulder spot.[9]B. sharavatiensis is the only Batasio that has a completely plain and colourless body; its adipose fin is almost confluent (continuous) with the caudal fin save for a small notch.[9]Batasio, like most other bagrids, are easy to sex. The male has a visible genital papilla just fore of the anal fin.[21] Gravid female B. tengana (South East Asian form) are easy to identify because the pink eggs can be seen through their semi-transparent belly when they swim near light.[21]

Ecology

Batasio species generally are found in fast-flowing hillstreams.[3] B. fluviatilis is found in rivers and streams with moderate to swift current and a predominantly rocky bottom, and is less often in slow-flowing streams with a muddy substrate.[11] B. tengana occurs in rivers and canals and is found in torrential streams.[15] B. travancoria occurs in hillstreams and rivers at the bases of hills.[16]B. fluviatilis hide among stones or submerged vegetation during the day and come out at night to feed.[11]B. batasio appears to mimic Mystus vittatus, with which it inhabits the same habitat.[21]

In the aquarium

B. tengana, though uncommon, is the most commonly encountered species of Batasio in the aquarium hobby.[17] B. tengana does well in captivity, and has been bred in captivity. The fish spawned in soft neutral water, but raising the fry, of which there were over 200, proved difficult.[17] The temperature for the Indian species should remain between {{convert |20|-|22|°C|F}}; the Southeast Asian Batasio will tolerate slightly warmer waters. It appears that all Batasio need a lot of current and a high oxygen content.[17]B. batasio is another species in the hobby, but can be easily confused with Mystus vittatus.[17] B. travancoria has only once been imported to the U.S.[17] In captivity, the experience of one aquarist is that specimens of B. travancoria show little interest in all foods offered and slowly lose weight over a span of a few months and perish.[17]
