Labeo dussumieri
Introduction '''''Labeo dussumieri''''' ('''Malabar Labeo''') is fish in genus Labeo known to occur in west-flowing rivers of the Western Ghats. Earlier Sri Lankan population was considered as the same species as ''L. dussumieri'', recent phylogenetic and physiological differences suggest that Sri Lankan population is a distinct species, ''Labeo heladiva''..Named in honor of Jean-Jacques Dussumier (1792-1883), French voyager and merchant, whose account of this species is the basis of Valenciennes’ description.
