Leucalburnus View in CoL

This monotypic genus is phylogenetically isolated and may be related to Alburnus , although it is superficially similar to the European genus Telestes . Leucalburnus is poorly known, its ecology and distribution should be studied in greater depth, and its population trends should be monitored. Studying its ecology should not result in slaughtering hundreds of fish to calculate some useless indices, such as length-weight relationships or other trivialities. Further reading.
