global oil shipping route, following the U.S.-Israel conflict.  \no A narrow waterway between Iran (north coast) and the United Arab Emirates and Musandam of Oman (south coast).  \no Connects the Persian Gulf (west) to the Gulf of Oman, which opens into the Arabian Sea (southeast) .  \no Speciality: It is the only sea channel linking the oil-rich Persian Gulf (west) with the Gulf of Oman and the Arabian Sea (southeast).  \no Important islands: Hengam Island, Hormuz Island, and Qeshm Island.  \no Significance:  \no Considered one of the world’s most important maritime choke points.  \no About 25% of global oil trade and nearly 30% of global liquefied natural gas (LNG) shipments pass through it.  \no Key transit route for supertankers exporting oil and gas from Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Iraq, Qatar, Bahrain, United Arab Emirates, and Iran.  \nRay-finned fish  \nThe indigenous Sangno clan of Arunachal Pradesh has launched a community-led translocation drive in the East Kameng district

carp and minnow family, also known as the Transcaspian marinka and locally called Ngarsing.  \no Habitat: Found in cold, clean, well-oxygenated, fastflowing Himalayan streams and rivers, especially snowfed glacial streams in the eastern Himalayas.  \n02 July 2026  \no Adaptations: Its bony ray-supported fins provide stability in swift currents; the homocercal tail ensures efficient swimming; the protractile mouth helps scrape algae and feed on small aquatic organisms; overlapping scales reduce water resistance.  \no Ecology: Shares its habitat with the Mahseer ('Tiger of the Water') and often depends on shallow or isolated upland streams for safe breeding.  \no Conservation Status: Listed as Endangered on the IUCN Red List.  \no Other Important Fish Species in India:  \no Ganges Shark — Critically Endangered freshwater river shark, endemic to the Ganga– Brahmaputra river system; an important species in river conservation.  \no Goonch — Giant freshwater catfish found in Himalayan
