Alburnoides Thessalicus
The Thessalian spirlin (''Alburnoides thessalicus'') is a species of freshwater ray-finned fish belonging to the family Leuciscidae, which includes the daces, minnows and related fishes. This fish is found in the southern Balkans in Greece and North Macedonia. Taxonomy The Thessalian spirlin was first formally described in 1950 as ''Alburnoides bipunctatus thessalicus'' by Alexander I. Stephanidis with its type locality given as the Malakasiotiko River in the Pinios River drainage in Thessaly, Greece at 39°46'47"N, 21°22'16"E. Previously all of the spirlins in Greece were considered to belong to this subspecies but this has now been reclassified as the species '' A. thessalicus''. ''A. thessalicus'' is now considered to be found only in the Pineios, Haliacmon and Vardar rivers with ''A. economoui'' being described from the Spercheios, with other taxa elsewhere. This species is classified in the genus ''Alburnoides'' within the subfamily Leuciscinae of the family Leuciscidae ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Gallikos
Gallikos () is a village and a former municipality in the Kilkis (regional unit), Kilkis regional unit, Greece. Since the 2011 local government reform it is part of the municipality Kilkis, of which it is a municipal unit. The municipal unit has an area of 149.054 km2. Population 6,343 (2011).

Loudias
The Loudias () or Lydias (Λυδίας), popularly called Mavroneri (Μαυρονέρι, "Blackwater", from its Ottoman Turkish name ''Kara Asmak'' قره آصماق) is a river in Central Macedonia that flows through the regional units of Pella and Thessaloniki draining into the Thermaic Gulf through the Axios Delta National Park. Its drainage basin is . Changes in river flow In the past water from the Voras, Vermio and Paiko mountains, flowed into Giannitsa Lake and from there flowed to the Thermaic Gulf. The Loudias now collects water that comes mainly from Mount Paiko and the main source is close to Aravissos. A section of the river has been converted into an artificial channel (Channel 66-Moglenitsas), thus enabling the draining of Lake Giannitsa and its marshlands. Throughout the length of about 60 km, the region is fertile. At the city of Giannitsa there is a rowing centre. In 1912, during the First Balkan War The First Balkan War lasted from October 1912 to M ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Standard Length
Fish measurement is the measuring of individual fish and various parts of fish anatomy, their anatomies, for data used in many areas of ichthyology, including Taxonomy (biology), taxonomy and fishery biology. Overall length Standard length (SL) is the length of a fish measured from the tip of the snout to the posterior end of the last vertebra or to the posterior end of the midlateral portion of the Glossary of ichthyology#H, hypural plate. This measurement excludes the length of the caudal fin, caudal (tail) fin. Total length (TL) is the length of a fish measured from the tip of the snout to the tip of the longer lobe of the caudal fin, usually measured with the lobes compressed along the midline. It is a straight-line measure, not measured over the curve of the body. Standard length measurements are used with Teleostei (most Actinopterygii, bony fish), while total length measurements are used with Myxini (hagfish), Petromyzontiformes (lampreys) and usually Elasmobranchii (shark ...

Caudal Fin
Fins are moving appendages protruding from the body of fish that interact with water to generate thrust and help the fish swim. Apart from the tail or caudal fin, fish fins have no direct connection with the back bone and are supported only by muscles. Fish fins are distinctive anatomical features with varying structures among different clades: in ray-finned fish (Actinopterygii), fins are mainly composed of bony spines or rays covered by a thin stretch of scaleless skin; in lobe-finned fish (Sarcopterygii) such as coelacanths and lungfish, fins are short rays based around a muscular central bud supported by jointed bones; in cartilaginous fish (Chondrichthyes) and jawless fish (Agnatha), fins are fleshy " flippers" supported by a cartilaginous skeleton. Fins at different locations of the fish body serve different purposes, and are divided into two groups: the midsagittal ''unpaired fins'' and the more laterally located ''paired fins''. Unpaired fins are predominan ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Specific Name (zoology)
In zoological nomenclature, the specific name (also specific epithet, species epithet, or epitheton) is the second part (the second name) within the scientific name of a species (a binomen). The first part of the name of a species is the name of the genus or the generic name. The rules and regulations governing the giving of a new species name are explained in the article species description. For example, the scientific name for humans is ''Homo sapiens'', which is the species name, consisting of two names: ''Homo'' is the " generic name" (the name of the genus) and ''sapiens'' is the "specific name". Etymology Historically, ''specific name'' referred to the combination of what are now called the generic and specific names. Carl Linnaeus, who formalized binomial nomenclature, made explicit distinctions between specific, generic, and trivial names. The generic name was that of the genus, the first in the binomial, the trivial name was the second name in the binomial, and the ...

Alburnoides Maculatus
''Alburnoides maculatus'', the Crimean spirlin or Crimean riffle minnow, is a species of small (7.3 cm max length) freshwater fish in the family Leuciscidae. It is endemic to the Crimea Peninsula. Taxonomy ''Alburnoides maculatus'' was first formally described as ''Alburnus maculatus'' in 1859 by the Baltic German zoologist Karl Fedorovich Kessler with its type locality given as the Salghir River at Simferopol in Crimea, Ukraine. This taxon has been regarded as a synonym of the schneider ('' A. bipunctatus'') but is now accepted as a separate valid species. In 1861 Ludwig Heinrich Jeitteles placed ''Alburnus maculatus'' in the monospecific genus ''Alburnoides'', meaning this taxon is the type species of that genus by monotypy. The genus ''Alburnoides'' is classified in the subfamily Leuciscinae of the family Leuciscidae. Etymology ''Alburnoides maculatus'' belongs to the genus ''Alburnoides'', this name suffixes ''-oides'' on to the genus name ''Alburnus'', which is Lati ...

Alburnus Alburnus
The bleak or common bleak (''Alburnus alburnus'') is a small freshwater coarse fish of the family Leuciscidae, which includes the minnows, daces and bleaks. The common bleak is found in Europe and Western Asia. Description The body of the bleak is elongated and flat. The head is pointed and the relatively small mouth is turned upwards. The anal fin is long and has 18–23 fin rays. The lateral line is complete. The bleak has a shiny silvery colour, and the fins are pointed and colourless. Its maximum length is about 25 cm (10 in). In Europe, the bleak can easily be confused with many other species. In England, young common bream and silver bream can be confused with young bleak, though the pointed, upward-turned mouth of the bleak is already distinctive at young stages. Young roach and ruffe have wider bodies and short anal fins. Occurrence The bleak occurs in Europe and Western Asia: north of the Caucasus, Pyrenees, and Alps, and eastward toward the Volga b ...

Whitefish (fisheries Term)
Whitefish or white fish is a fisheries term for several species of demersal fish with fins, particularly Atlantic cod (''Gadus morhua''), whiting (fish), whiting (''Merluccius bilinearis''), haddock (''Melanogrammus aeglefinus''), Phycidae, hake (''Urophycis''), and pollock (''Pollachius''), among others. Whitefish live on or near the seafloor, and can be contrasted with the Oily fish, oily or pelagic fish, which live away from the seafloor. Whitefish do not have much fish oil, oil in their tissue, and have flakier white or light-coloured flesh. Most of the oil found in their bodies is concentrated in the organs, e.g. cod liver oil. Whitefish can be divided into benthopelagic fish (round fish that live ''near'' the sea bed, such as cod and Coley (fish), coley) and benthic fish (which live ''on'' the sea bed, such as flatfish like plaice). Whitefish is sometimes eaten straight but is often used reconstituted for fishsticks, gefilte fish, lutefisk, surimi (imitation crab meat), e ...
