Emra River is a right-bank tributary of the Dibang River which eventually flows into the Brahmaputra River. The entire valley of the river is contained in the Etalin Circle of the Dibang Valley district.[1]
The river originates near the India-China Line of Actual Control in Arunachal Pradesh at an elevation of about 4000 m.[2] Emra watershed/catchment area has a forest cover of 87% with high species richness and low habitat fragmentation. The Mishmi people live in the river valley/basin area.[3] [4] Fish such as mahseer (Tor putitora) migrate from Dibang into Emra for spawning and breeding.
