Nanla He

The Nanla River flows through southwestern China near the Myanmar border, supporting diverse aquatic life including 42 fish species from 14 different families.

Field studies conducted in 2008 revealed the river's ecological composition, documenting numerous fish species that represent ancient Tertiary period groupings typical of Southeast Asia.

The river system maintains the ecological balance of local communities, providing essential resources for agricultural practices and traditional fishing activities in the region.

Environmental monitoring of the Nanla River focuses on protecting endangered species like Hemibagrus wyckioides and Pangasius sanitwangsei from water pollution and overfishing.

The fish population of Nanla River consists predominantly of bottom-dwelling and omnivorous species, with Cypriniformes making up 64.3 percent of all documented fish.
