The illustrations in the Medical Thangkas are quite faithful to the Naked carps or Snowtrouts. 'Jam-dpal distinguishes between nya, fishes with scales, and rme mo, scaleless fishes. His illustration for nya is very close to the Common carp, Cyprinus carpo.
Members of the Naked carp or Snow trout family include endemics of the Yarlung Tsangpo system like Schizopygopsis younghusbandi and Oxygymnocypris stewartii, important commercial fishes. Many of the local species decline seriously because of habitat loss, overfishing and introduced species. The 100 and some native species of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau are a relict of a mass extinctions in the Quaternary, when the uplift of the Himalayas transformed the prevailing low-altitude tropical or subtropical conditions to the present cold, arid, high-altitude climate.
