Sri Lanka recently witnessed a phenomenon dubbed 'fish rain,' where snakehead fish were found scattered across fields after heavy rainfall. Experts clarify that these fish likely migrated overland rather than falling from the sky, as they are capable of moving across land during wet conditions. Such migrations are crucial for the survival of many freshwater species, linking various aquatic habitats. However, the construction of dams and barriers in Sri Lanka is disrupting these ancient migration routes, threatening biodiversity. Fish ladders are proposed solutions, but they are rarely implemented. This situation highlights the need for better management of aquatic ecosystems to ensure the survival of these species.
