A New Locality for the Freshwater Fish Chondrostoma angorense Elvira, 1987 (Osteichtyes: Cyprinidae) in the Marmara Region (Turkey)

Abstract

In Lake Sapanca, C. nasus was reported in 1966. However, careful examination on this specimen in 1987 revealed that this species was Vimba vimba. In the present study, we report the finding of C. angorense from Lake Sapanca (Sakarya, Turkey) for the first time. The circumstances of identification and conservation status of the species are discussed.
