Um v\u00eddeo publicado no TikTok levou pesquisadores \u00e0 descoberta de um\u00a0pequeno peixe subterr\u00e2neo at\u00e9 ent\u00e3o desconhecido pela ci\u00eancia.\u00a0Encontrado no estado de Bihar, no norte da \u00cdndia, perto da fronteira com o Nepal, o animal representa\u00a0um novo g\u00eanero e uma nova esp\u00e9cie da fam\u00edlia\u00a0<\/strong>Chaudhuriidae<\/strong>,<\/em>\u00a0grupo conhecido como enguias-minhoca.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Batizado de\u00a0Gangaichthys indonepalicus<\/em>,\u00a0o peixe tem cerca de quatro cent\u00edmetros, corpo sem pigmenta\u00e7\u00e3o e transl\u00facido<\/strong>\u00a0e olhos reduzidos cobertos pela pele. A descoberta foi descrita em estudo publicado em 11 de agosto na\u00a0revista cient\u00edfica ZooKeys.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Um v\u00eddeo deu in\u00edcio \u00e0 busca<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A investiga\u00e7\u00e3o come\u00e7ou em 2024, depois que os cientistas encontraram no TikTok\u00a0um v\u00eddeo que mostrava um pequeno peixe incomum saindo da \u00e1gua de um po\u00e7o tubular.\u00a0O registro havia sido feito em uma\u00a0\u00e1rea pr\u00f3xima \u00e0 fronteira entre \u00cdndia e Nepal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A apar\u00eancia do animal chamou a aten\u00e7\u00e3o dos pesquisadores,\u00a0principalmente porque n\u00e3o havia peixes estig\u00f3bios conhecidos naquela regi\u00e3o.\u00a0<\/strong>O termo \u00e9 usado para\u00a0esp\u00e9cies aqu\u00e1ticas adaptadas \u00e0 vida exclusivamente em ambientes subterr\u00e2neos.\u00a0A equipe decidiu, ent\u00e3o, rastrear o local para identificar o animal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Encontrar exemplares, por\u00e9m, n\u00e3o foi simples. Em Bihar, os pesquisadores precisaram localizar po\u00e7os com potencial de alcan\u00e7ar o habitat do peixe<\/strong> e obter autoriza\u00e7\u00e3o dos propriet\u00e1rios para bombear a \u00e1gua manualmente.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Milhares de litros de \u00e1gua<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

O primeiro exemplar apareceu depois que aproximadamente 2 mil litros de \u00e1gua foram bombeados. O animal sofreu danos durante a coleta e morreu. A equipe continuou o trabalho no mesmo po\u00e7o e, ap\u00f3s retirar outros 500 litros, encontrou um segundo peixe intacto.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

O exemplar foi posteriormente definido como\u00a0hol\u00f3tipo,\u00a0nome dado ao indiv\u00edduo que serve de refer\u00eancia para a descri\u00e7\u00e3o cient\u00edfica\u00a0de uma nova esp\u00e9cie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A an\u00e1lise mostrou caracter\u00edsticas associadas \u00e0 vida em ambientes sem luz.<\/strong> Al\u00e9m do corpo sem pigmenta\u00e7\u00e3o e dos olhos reduzidos cobertos pela pele, os pesquisadores identificaram uma aparente aus\u00eancia de costelas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Exames de microtomografia computadorizada e an\u00e1lises gen\u00e9ticas permitiram estudar a anatomia e as rela\u00e7\u00f5es evolutivas do animal. Os resultados indicaram que o peixe pertence \u00e0 fam\u00edlia Chaudhuriidae,<\/em> mas apresenta diferen\u00e7as suficientes para ser classificado em um g\u00eanero at\u00e9 ent\u00e3o desconhecido. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Primeiro registro na Bacia do Ganges<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

O nome Gangaichthys<\/em> significa \u201cpeixe do Ganges\u201d e faz refer\u00eancia \u00e0 bacia hidrogr\u00e1fica onde o animal foi encontrado.<\/strong> J\u00e1 indonepalicus<\/em> foi escolhido por causa da ocorr\u00eancia perto da fronteira entre \u00cdndia e Nepal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Segundo os pesquisadores, Gangaichthys indonepalicus<\/em> \u00e9 o primeiro peixe estig\u00f3bio registrado na Plan\u00edcie Indo-Gang\u00e9tica e na Bacia do Ganges. O animal vive em aqu\u00edferos aluviais, reservat\u00f3rios subterr\u00e2neos de \u00e1gua associados aos sedimentos acumulados na regi\u00e3o.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A descoberta tamb\u00e9m amplia o conhecimento sobre a\u00a0biodiversidade subterr\u00e2nea da \u00cdndia, ainda pouco estudada devido \u00e0 dificuldade de acesso aos habitats. No caso do animal antes misterioso, um registro casual em uma rede social acabou fornecendo a pista para localiz\u00e1-lo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
