Based on the morphological and osteological analyses, a high similarity between A. microlepis and Acanthobrama members is found. Some taxonomic information yielded from the examination of recent collections from Dicle (Tigris), Fırat (Euphrates), Asi (Orontes), Ceyhan, Seyhan rivers and Berdan Stream near Tarsus is also included. Accordingly, Acanthobrama marmid is distributed only in Dicle-Fırat system (presumably also in Sinnap Stream from Kuveik Drainage) and the populations from Asi, Seyhan and Berdan Stream (Tarsus) regarded as a separate subspecies as A. marmid orontis Berg, 1949 should be considered full species according to phylogenetic species concept and Ceyhan population represents a new species.

Based on or subterminal; caudal fin long and deeply notched; morphological characters, the family has been split lateral line complete, with 68-82 pored scales, 13-15 into 2 to 12 subfamilies according to various authors scales between lateral line and dorsal-fin origin, 6-8 (Chen et al. 1984; Bogutskaya 1997; Kottelat & scales between lateral line and pelvic-fin origin; Freyhof 2007).

Durand et al. (2002) placed the genus among Abramis clade according to cytochrome b data, while Perea et al. (2010) proposed synonymy with Acanthobrama using mitochondrial and nuclear DNA data. Based on the latter, Eschmeyer (2014) included Acanthalburnus microlepis in Acanthobrama. Fig.1. Distribution of the genus Acanthobrama species However, until now, no morphological study on in Turkey (*A. microlepis, ● A. marmid, ∆ A. orontis, ▲ Acanthobrama cf. marmid, +A. centisquama) validating this genus change has been presented.

Since the work of J.J. Heckel (1846-1849), the number of valid species has increased significantly and the systematic status of many of the species has changed, and reorganization and updating of the published information has become essential. Here we take the opportunity to provide a new and updated checklist of freshwater fishes of Iran based on literature and taxon occurrence data obtained from natural history and new fish collections. This article lists 288 species in 107 genera, 28 families, 22 orders and 3 classes reported from different Iranian basins. However, presence of 23 reported species in Iranian waters needs confirmation by specimens.

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.
