The fishes of the Bolaman Stream, Northern Turkey

In this study, the fish species inhabiting the Bolaman Stream drains to the Black Sea from the Fatsacoast (Ordu Province, Turkey) was reported for the first time. The study was caught out nonperiodically by sampling from seven stations in the Bolaman Stream between July 2017 and November 2018. Fish samples were captured with an electroshock device. With this study, it was determined that the fish fauna of the Bolaman Stream is represented by 10 species in five families(Acheilognothidae, Cyprinidae, Gobiidae, Leuciscidae, and Salmonidae). These species were asfollows, respectively Rhodeus amarus, Barbus tauricus, Capoeta banarescui, Neogobius fluviatilis, Ponticola turani, Alburnus derjugini, Squalius cephalus, Vimba vimba, Alburnoides fasciatus,and Salmo coruhensis.
