The Latest Status and Distribution of Fishes in Upper Tigris River and Two New Records for Turkish Freshwaters

Dicle Nehri'nin yukarı havzasının balık faunasını ortaya koymak amacıyla Haziran 2006 ve Kasım 2015 tarihleri arasında araştırma yapılmıştır. Araştırma sırasında 10 familyaya ait (Cyprinidae, Nemacheilidae, Sisoridae, Siluridae, Heteropneustidae, Bagridae, Salmonidae, Mugilidae, Poeciliidae, Mastacembelidae) 40 tür tespit edilmiştir. Tam olarak tanımlanamayan bir tür Squalius sp. olarak bildirilmiştir. Oxynoemacheilus chomanicus ve O. kurdistanicus türlerinin Türkiye tatlı suları için yeni kayıt oldukları saptanmıştır.

Yukarı Dicle Nehri Havzası Balık Türlerinin Son Durumu ve Dağılım Alanları ve Türkiye Tatlısuları için İki Yeni Kayıt

The fishes of the upper basin of the Tigris River have been surveyed between June 2006 and November 2015. During this survey 40 fish species were determined belonging to 10 families (Cyprinidae, Nemacheilidae, Sisoridae, Siluridae, Heteropneustidae, Bagridae, Salmonidae, Mugilidae, Poeciliidae, Mastacembelidae). One species was not fully identified and currently reported as Squalius sp. Oxynoemacheilus kurdistanicus and O. chomanicus are new records for Turkish inland waters.
