New Ringed Danio Discovered in Bangladesh

Entirely new species may also be the rewarding surprise, as Dr. Sven Kullander of the Swedish Museum of Natural History found when collecting wild danios in an effort to build a DNA barcode reference library of the genus Danio. Working with Mizanur Rahman of the University of Banglash, and a team of Swedish and Bangladeshi researchers, Kullander found a fish that fit no known genetic profile and has now described it as Danio annulosus.
