Identification and Quantification in Food

Badids are small freshwater fish normally inhabit small streams or hill streams with slow to moderate flow.In the past, the genus Badis was generally treated as a member of the family Nandidae together with other genera like Nandus, Polycentrus, Monocirrhus, Afronandus and Polycentropsis (Ruber et aI., 2004).Barlow et aI.( 1968) erected a separate family, Badidae for the genus Badis alone based on morphological and behavioral data.Following Kullander and Britz (2002), the family Nandidae is now restricted to the genus Nandus and the other genera like Polycentrus, Monocirrhus, Afronandus and Polycentropsis are classified in the family Policentridae.Kullander and Britz (2002) in their taxonomic revision revealed that the family Badidae currently assigned to two genera Badis (with 12 species) and Dario (with 3 species).The distribution of the Badidae includes the Indian subcontinent, Pakistan, Nepal, Bangladesh, Myanmar, Peninsular Thailand, the Mae Khlong drainage and part of the Mekong basin in South East Asia as well as the Upper Irrawaddy in southern Yunnan, China.
