Justification of Red List category
Icthyophaga humilis is listed as Near Threatened. There is little known about the population size of this species, but the loss of riverine forests and the cumulative impacts of overfishing and pollution have led to ongoing declines in the population. Although the species has shown some ability to adapt to alternative and sub-optimal habitat in southern India and Indonesia, the population is suspected to have undergone a reduction of 20-29%.
