The present study investigated the ability of DNA barcoding to reliably identify endemic freshwater species in Turkey, known as biodiversity hotspots. barcode region (652 bp) mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) was used 153 individuals from 13 morphologically identified genus Alburnoides . Based on Kimura two-parameter (K2P) evolution model, average interspecific distance (0.0595...

The Squalius alburnoides complex (Steindachner) is one of the most intricate hybrid polyploid systems known in vertebrates. In this complex, the constant switch of the genome composition in consecutive generations, very frequently involving a change on the ploidy level, promotes repetitive situations of potential genomic shock. Previously in this complex, it was showed that in response to the i...

A total of 48 female spirlins Alburnoides sp. from the Kesselian stream (South Caspian Sea basin, northern Iran) were examined during a period from July 2008 to June 2009 to obtain data on fecundity, and to determine the spawning season of this carp. The mean absolute fecundity of females spirlin was 1722.92 (653.88) eggs. The fecundity has positive correlation with the size of the female. The...

In this study, the fish species inhabiting Bolaman Stream drains to Black Sea from Fatsa coast (Ordu Province, Turkey) was reported for first time. The study caught out non-periodically by sampling seven stations in between July 2017 and November 2018. Fish samples were captured with an electroshock device. With it determined that fauna of is represented 10 five families (Acheilognothidae, Cypr...
