Iranian Journal of Ichthyology 8(1): 14-18. Introduction simavicus is an endemic loach of Turkish inland Besides molecular studies of fishes, karyological water described from the Marmara Sea tributary studies are important in fish taxonomy. Fish (Freyhof et al. 2011; Güçlü & Küçük 2015; Çiçek et karyology has been developed since 1960 (Chiarelli al. 2018, 2019). There is no karyological study of & Capanna 1973). In addition, karyological studies O. simavicus. Hence, this study aimed to study in fish have great importance in cytotaxonomy, karyological characteristics of O. simavicus. aquaculture, mutagenesis and genetic control (Esmaeili et al. 2015). Obtaining chromosomes and Materials and Methods karyotypes from fish species are often difficult. Thirteen specimens (six males and seven females) of However, improvements in methodological O. simavicus were collected using an electrofishing approaches have contributed to chromosome device from Tabakdere, Salihli, Manisa, Turkey analyses for evaluating fish karyotypic diversity (38°28′N, 28°03′E) in 2019. The individuals were (Bertollo et al. 2015). Chromosomal studies in fish transported alive to the laboratory. The fishes were are often limited to the determination of diploid treated with the guidelines of the local ethics chromosome number (2n), fundamental arm number committee. Metaphase chromosomes were obtained (FN) and chromosome morphology (Rábová et al. from head kidney cells according to Bertollo et al. 2015). (2015)’s air drying protocol. From each specimen, at From the Anatolian nemacheilid species, only least 10 chromosome slides were prepared. All nine of them have been studied cytogenetically analysed specimens are deposited in the Genetic (Tanrıkulu 2008; Değer 2011; Kılıç et al. 2011; Laboratory of Kırşehir Ahi Evran University, Gaffaroğlu et al. 2012; Gaffaroğlu et al. 2014; Ünal Turkey. All Giemsa stained slides were scanned with et al. 2016; Ayata et al. 2018). Oxynoemacheilus a Leica DM 3000 microscope (Leica Microsystems 14 Karasu Ayata et al.- Karyology of an endemic Oxynoemacheilus simavicus GmbH, Germany) and metaphases were photographed with AKAS software (Argenit Mikrosistem, Turkey). At least 10 metaphases were examined per individual. Karyotype was arranged manually. Chromosomes in the karyotype were classified according to Levan et al. (1964). For calculating FN, meta-submetacentric (m-sm) chromosomes were taken as biarmed, whereas subtelo-acrocentric (st-a) chromosomes were considered as uniarmed. Results A total of 130 metaphases were counted for chromosome number. The diploid chromosome number of O. simavicus was detected as 2n = 50 (Fig. 1A). The chromosome morphologies were as follows: six pairs of m, seven pairs of sm and 12 pairs of st-a chromosomes (Fig. 1B). The FN was calculated as 76. The largest chromosome pair of the karyotype was st-a chromosome. No heteromorphic sex chromosomes were observed in the karyotype. Fig.1.

(2015) reported that despite the vast biodiversity within Nemacheilidae, the cytogenetics show some differences (Table 1). The number of of this group remain poorly explored. The fact that uniarmed chromosomes of O. simavicus is higher chromosomal studies have been reported in seven out than all other Anatolian Oxynoemacheilus species of 41 Anatolian Oxynoemacheilus species confirms (Table 1). Consequently, the FN of O. simavicus is this report (Table 1). From this limited data, the lowest from the other Anatolian karyotypes of all analysed Anatolian Oxynoemacheilus species (Table 1).

The fish genera Gasterosteus, Hucho, Oxynoemacheilus, Salmo, and Schizothorax are examples of these groups among vertebrates, and the genera Magnibursatus (Trematoda), Margaritifera, Potomida, Microcondylaea, Leguminaia, Unio (Mollusca), and Phagocata (Planaria), among invertebrates. There is reason to believe that their ancestors spread to Europe through the Paratethys (or the proto-Paratethys basin that preceded it), where intense speciation took place and new genera of aquatic organisms arose.

Geiger2 1) Department of Biology, College of Sciences, Shiraz University, Shiraz, Iran 2) Zoological Research Museum Alexander Koenig, Leibniz Institute for Animal Biodiversity, Adenauerallee, Germany ABSTRACT This study provides new data on chromosomal characteristics and DNA barcoding of three endemic loaches of Iran: spiny southern loach Cobitis linea (Heckel, 1847), Persian stream loach Oxynoemacheilus persa (Heckel, 1848) and Tongiorgi stream loach Oxynoemacheilus tongiorgii (Nalbant & Bianco, 1998). The chromosomes of these fishes were investigated by examining metaphase chromosome spreads obtained from epithelial gill and kidney cells. The diploid chromosome numbers of all three species were 2n=50. The karyotypes of C. linea consisted of 4M + 40SM + 6ST, NF=94; of O. persa by 20M + 22SM + 8ST, NF=90 and of O. tongiorgii by 18M + 24SM + 8ST, NF= 92. Sex chromosomes were cytologically indistinguishable in these loaches. Maximum likelihood-based estimation of the phylogenetic relationships based on the COI barcode region clearly separates the three Iranian loach species of the Kor River basin. All species distinguished by morphological characters were recovered as monophyletic clades by the COI barcodes. The obtained results could be used for population studies,Archive management and conservatio n programs.of SID Key words: Loaches; Phylogenetic relationships; COI barcode region; Idiogram; Iran INTRODUCTION The confirmed freshwater ichthyofauna of Iran are represented by 202 species in 104 genera, 28 families, 17 orders and 3 classes found in 19 different basins [1].

The current status of the inland waters ichthyofauna of Turkey is revised, and an updated checklist of the freshwater fishes is presented. A total of 368 fish species live in the inland waters of Turkey. Among these, 3 species are globally extinct, 5 species are extinct in Turkey, 28 species are non-native and 153 species are considered as endemic to Turkey. We recognise pronounced species richness and a high degree of endemism of the Turkish ichthyofauna (41.58%). Orders with the largest numbers of species in the ichthyofauna of Turkey are the Cypriniformes 247 species), Perciformes (43 species), Salmoniformes (21 species), Cyprinodontiformes (15 species), Siluriformes (10 species), Acipenseriformes (8 species) and Clupeiformes (8 species). At the family level, the Cyprinidae has the greatest number of species (188 species; 51.1% of the total species), followed by the Nemacheilidae (39), Salmonidae (21 species), Cobitidae (20 species), Gobiidae (18 species) and Cyprinodontidea (14 species).

Oxynoemacheilus chomanicus is a newly described species of the family Nemacheilidae from the Choman River drainage of the Tigris basin. This study was conducted to provide the detailed osteological characteristics of this species and comparing them with those of other endemic species of the genus Oxynoemacheilus from inland water basins of Iran, namely, kiabii, O. persa, O. brandtii, O. kermanshahensis,andO. bergianus. For this purpose, nine specimens of O. chomanicus were collected, cleaned, and stained for osteological examination. Then, a detailed description of their skeletal structure was provided. The results showed that O. chomanicus can be distinguished from other studied species of the genus Oxynoemacheilus due to possessing an orbital shelf, number of the vertebrae, number of the hypurals, number of the unbranched rays in anal fin, features of the hemal and neural spines, and connection pattern of the parietal and frontal.
