| Remark: | this is tor mosal not tor putitora-I have caught three of this species amongst many putitoras and they show marked differences(colouration,size and shape of head and type of pharyngeal teeth).It is well known as a seperate species by the local inhabitants who call it copper mahseer as opposed to golden for putitora. |
