There is a small populated place in its basin also called Palyavaam. The Humpback whitefish, the East Siberian Grayling, Pink salmon, Chum salmon and Arctic char, are some of the fish species found in its waters.
Course
[edit]It has its source in the Palyavaam Range of the Chukotka Mountains. The Palyavaam flows in a roughly westward direction and passes through the sparsely populated areas of Chukotka. Finally it flows into the Chaun close to its outflow into the East Siberian Sea,[1] at the Chaunskaya Bay near Rytkuchi.
The Palyavaam has numerous tributaries. The most important ones are the Elkakvun, Palyarynnat, Karpungveyem, Levtuttyveyem, Kookvyn, Vykvylvegyrgyn and Pekychyn.

Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
