Alburnus carianorum View in CoL

Common name. Carian bleak.

Diagnosis. Distinguished from other species of Alburnus in Central Anatolia, Aegean, Marmara, and Black Sea basins by: ○ 37–44+3 total scales in lateral line / ○ 11–13½ branched anal rays / ○ 6–8 scale rows between lateral line and dorsal origin / ○ 15–19 gill rakers / ○ ventral keel exposed for 2–8 scales in front of anus / ○ caudal peduncle depth 8.9–10.5 % SL. Size up to 92 mm SL.

Distribution. Türkiye: Dalaman, Tersakan, Namnam, and Büyük Menderes drainages.

Habitat. A wide range of moderately fast-flowing streams and rivers with gravel substrate.

Biology. No data.

Conservation status. LC.

Remarks. First described as A. kurui . However, as Leuciscus kurui Bogutskaya, 1995 is placed in Alburnus , A. kurui Mangit & Yerli, 2018 became a junior secondary homonym of Alburnus kurui (Bogutskaya, 1995) . As both are valid species in the genus Alburnus , A carianorum is designated as a replacement name for A. kurui Mangit & Yerli, 2018 .

Alburnus chalcoides ; Tajan, Iran; ~ 90 mm SL. Alburnus are a typical species of running waters in West Asia,as here in the Sirvan,a tributary of the Tigris.
