Capoeta erhani, a new species of cyprinid fish from Ceyhan River, Turkey (Teleostei: Cyprinidae)

Capoeta erhani, new species, is described from the Ceyhan drainage, eastern Anatolia. It is distinguished from the other members of the C. trutta species-group (Capoeta species with numerous irregular black spots on the dorsal half of the body and dorsal and caudal fins) by a shorter dorsal fin, a less ossified last simple dorsal-fin ray, fewer scales in lateral line, fewer scales between anal-fin origin and lateral line. © 2008 by Verlag Dr. Friedrich Pfeil, München, Germany

Luciobarbus kottelati, a new species of barbel (Teleostei: Cyprinidae) from the Büyük Menderes River, Turkey, with rediagnose of L. lydianus

Luciobarbus kottelati, new species, is described from the River Büyük Menderes, Aegean Sea drainage, Turkey. It is distinguished from all other species of Luciobarbus in Europe and western Anatolia by the pelvic-fin origin markedly in front of the dorsal-fin origin (vs. behind). Luciobarbus lydianus, considered to be a synonym of L. pectoralis by most recent authors is a valid species and is rediagnosed. Copyright © 2008 Magnolia Press

Description of a new species of genus Gobio from Turkey (Teleostei: Cyprinidae)

Gobio sakaryaensis, a new species from the Tozman and the Porsuk streams of the Sakarya River drainage (northwestern Anatolia, Black Sea basin), is described. The species is distinguished from other gudgeons by a combination of the fol-lowing characters: breast completely scaled, scales approximately extending to isthmus; head length 27.2-30.0 % SL; 39-42 lateral line scales; 4-6 scales between anus and anal-fin origin; 6-8 scales between posterior extremity of pelvic-fin bases and anus. A key is provided for Gobio and Romanogobio species recorded from Turkey. Copyright © 2012 · Magnolia Press

The first record of Garra kemali (Teleostei: Cyprinidae) from the Black Sea basin with a re-description of the species

Garra kemali is reported for the first time from the Black Sea Basin (Hirfanlı reservoir at the Kızılırmak River). The Hirfanlı population is distinguished from the Eregli population, from where G. kemali was described, by seventeen nucleotide substitutions in the partial mitochondrial cytochrome b gene (1041 bp). Due to the limited knowledge about the genetic variability in G. kemali, which is widespread in Central Anatolia, and the poorly studied fish fauna of the Kızılırmak River drainage, it cannot be decided, if the Hirfanlı population is native or translocated. © Pfeil Verlag.All rights reserved

Introduction and establishment of tropical ornamental fish, Pterygoplichthys spp. (Actinopterygii: Siluriformes: Loricariidae) in hot springs: Aquarium trade as a potential risk for biodiversity in Turkey

The aim of this study was to report non-native tropical ornamental freshwater fish species from the PinarbaĹĽi Stream connected with hot-water sources in the Inönü Province (EskiĹĽehir, Turkey). The morphological characters and meristic counts indicated that the examined specimens were: Pterygoplichthys disjunctivus (Weber, 1991), Pterygoplichthys pardalis (Castelnau, 1855), and their hybrids. We also present the evidence of their reproduction and establishment. Successful invasion of these species was evident, as their young-of-the-year and juvenile individuals were caught during the samplings from the same water course. Finally, we discuss the management implications of these species
