  • Phylogenetic Relationships of Freshwater Fishes of the Genus Capoeta (Actinopterygii, Cyprinidae) in Iran

Email: [email protected] General Mixed Yule- Coalescent (GMYC) and Poisson Tree Process (PTP) as well as haplotype network analyses. Using the BEAST program, we also examined temporal divergence patterns of Capoeta. The monophyly of the genus and the existence of three previously described main clades (Mesopotamian, Anatolian- Iranian, and Aralo- Caspian) were confirmed. However, the phylogeny proposed novel taxonomic findings within Capoeta. Results of GMYC, bPTP, and phylogenetic analyses were similar and suggested that species diversity in Iran is currently underestimated. At least four can- didate species, Capoeta sp4, Capoeta sp5, Capoeta sp6, and Capoeta sp7, are awaiting description. Capoeta capoeta comprises a species complex with distinct genetic line- ages. The divergence times of the three main Capoeta clades are estimated to have occurred around 15.6–12.4 Mya, consistent with a Mio- Pleistocene origin of the di- versity of Capoeta in Iran. The changes in Caspian Sea levels associated with climate fluctuations and geomorphological events such as the uplift of the Zagros and Alborz Mountains may account for the complex speciation patterns in Capoeta in Iran.

  • New Data on the Distribution and Conservation Status of the Two Endemic Scrapers in the Turkish Mediterranean Sea Drainages (Teleostei: Cyprinidae)

Fishes were caught with pulsed DC electro-fishing equipment from 28 sampling sites throughout Turkish Mediterranean Sea drainages between Göksu River and stream Boğa. The findings of the study demonstrate that Capoeta antalyensis inhabits in Köprüçay and Aksu rivers, and streams Boğa and Gündoğdu, all around Antalya. Capoeta caelestis widely distributed in coastal stream and rivers between Stream Dim (Alanya) in the west and Göksu River (Silifke) in the east. Metric and meristic characters were collected from the fish samples which obtained in the field for Capoeta caelestis and Capoeta antalyensis, and museum material for Capoeta damascina. In this way, morphologic features of the species revealed and Capoeta caelestis compared with Capoeta damascina to remove the hesitations about the validity of the species. The conservation status of Capoeta antalyensis was recommended to uplist from Vulnerable to Endangered. Keywords: Freshwater Fish Species; Anatolia; Pisces; Capoeta antalyensis; C.

Corresponding author: *E-mail: [email protected] Abstract The genus Capoeta in Iran is highly diversified with 14 species and is one of the most important freshwater fauna components of the country. Central Iran is a region with high number of endemism in other freshwater fish species, though the present species was recognized as C. aculeata (Valenciennes, 1844), widely distributed within Kavir and Namak basins. However previous phylogenetic and phylogeographic studies found that populations of Nam River, a tributary of the Hableh River in central Iran are different from the other species. In this study, the mentioned population is described as a new species based on morphologic and genetic characters. Keywords: Inland freshwater of Iran, Nam River, Algae-scraping cyprinid, Capoeta.

The parasitic fauna included two myzozoans, one choanozoan, seven ciliophorans, 24 myxozoans, eight trematodes, 34 monogeneans, 12 cestodes, 11 nematodes, five acanthocephalans, two annelids and nine crustaceans. The infection with some trematodes and nematodes occurred with larval stages, while the remaining infections were either with trophozoites or adult parasites. Among the inspected fishes, Cyprinion macrostomum was infected with the highest number of parasite species (29 parasite species), followed by Carasobarbus luteus (26 species) and Arabibarbus grypus (22 species) while six fish species (Alburnus caeruleus, A. sellal, Barbus lacerta, Cyprinion kais, Hemigrammocapoeta elegans and Mastacembelus mastacembelus) were infected with only one parasite species each. The myxozoan Myxobolus oviformis was the commonest parasite species as it was reported from 10 fish species, followed by both the myxozoan M. pfeifferi and the trematode Ascocotyle coleostoma which were reported from eight fish host species each and then by both the cestode Schyzocotyle acheilognathi and the nematode Contracaecum sp.

  • A Bibliography of the Fishes of the Tigris-Euphrates Basin
    A Bibliography of the Fishes of the Tigris-Euphrates Basin Bibliographie der Fische des Euphrat - Tigris - Beckens by Brian W. Coad and Lalth A. J. al·Hassan Introduction The Tigris-Euphrates basin is the major drainage basin of the Middle East, flowing through Turkey, Syria, Iraq and Iran. Its ichthyofauna provides a useful source of food and has been studied by biologists and systematists. The literature on this fauna is scattered through journals and books published in the Middle East and in many foreign countries and this is the first attempt to bring it all together. The bibliography comprises the principal systematic, distributional and biological works on the freshwater fishes ofthe Tigris-Euphrates basin. Some extralimital papers are included to facilitate study of this fauna as are revisio­ nary works which have an application to this basin. A more extensive bibliography on the fishes of Iran and their environ­ ment is in preparation (CoAD, MS). CoAD and KURU (1986) provide a bibliography on the fishes ofTurkey. Usually, the titel was cited in its original language. How­ ever, for articles in Arabic and Russian the title was translated into English or, if available, the title of the English summary was used. EinfUhrung Das Euphrat - Tigris - Becken ist das wichtigste Gewiisser­ system des Mittleren Ostens. das die Liinder Tiirkei. Syrien. lrak und Iran umfaBt. Die Fischfauna dieser Gewiisser stellt eine wichtige Nahrungsgrundlage in den Anrainerstaaten dar und ist und war der Gegenstand zahlreicher biologischer Untersuchun­ gen. Diese Literatur ist auf zahlreiche Zeitschriften und Biicher sowohl im Nahen und Mittleren Osten selbst. als auch im Aus­ land verstreut.

Here we show that combined Sr and O isotope analyses can serve as a powerful tool for assessing fish provenance and even for identifying fossil fish teeth in archaeological Edited by: contexts. For this purpose, we established a reference Sr and O isotope dataset of Brooke Crowley, extant fish teeth from major water bodies in the Southern Levant.

  • Growth and Reproductive Biology of Capoeta Damascina (Valenciennes, 1842) from a Tributary of Tigris
    Iranian Journal of Fisheries Sciences 14(4) 956-969 2015 Growth and reproductive biology of Capoeta damascina (Valenciennes, 1842) from a tributary of Tigris Bahrami Kamangar B.1*; Ghaderi E.2; Hoseinpour H.3 Received: October 2013 Accepted: July 2015 Abstract Growth and reproductive attributes were determined for Capoeta damascina, an endemic fish species from west of Iran. A total of 147 specimens of both sexes were sampled monthly from November 2008 to October 2009. The overall sex ratio was female biased. Males were aged 0-4 years and females 0-5 years. The von Bertalanffy -1 growth parameters were estimated as; Linf=34.81 cm, k=0.27 year , t0=-0.65 for males -1 plus unsexed samples, Linf =46.29 cm, k=0.22 year , t0 =-0.59 for females plus unsexed -1 samples and Linf =67.52 cm, k=0.12 year , t0=-0.79 for whole samples. The length- weight relationships were W=0.021L2.815 for males, W=0.022L2.824 for females and W=0.020L2.836 for combined sexes, all of which exhibited a negative allometric growth. Spawning season started in May, ascending to June and ended in July for both sexes. Length at 50% maturity was estimated as 12.35 cm for males and 15.14 cm for females. Fecundity ranged from 1551 (2 years old) to 20523 (5 years old) eggs per fish. Losing of large individuals and decreasing in size at first maturity were observed in the studied population compared to data reported from other C. damascina populations, which could reflect an effect of overexploitation.
