Alburnoides Tzanevi
''Alburnoides tzanevi'', the Thracian spirlin, is a species of freshwater ray-finned fish belonging to the family Leuciscidae, the daces and minnows. This species is found in small rivers flowing into the Black Sea in southern Bulgaria, European Turkey and the far west of Anatolia. Taxonomy ''Alburnoides tzanevi'' was first formally described as ''Alburnoides bipunctatus tzanevi'' in 1940 by the Bulgarian biologist Georgi Chichkoff with its type locality given as the Riesova River where it enters Black Sea at 42°N in Bulgaria. This taxon continued to be regaded as a subspecies of the schneider (''Alburnoides bipunctatus'' until the earlt 2000s. It is now regarded as a valid species which is classified in the genus ''Alburnoides'' within the subfamily Leuciscinae of the family Leuciscidae. Etymology ''Alburnoides tzanevi'' belongs to the genus ''Alburnoides'', this name suffixes ''-oides'' on to the genus name ''Alburnus'', which is Latin for whitefish but also refers to the b ...

Russian Academy Of Sciences
The Russian Academy of Sciences (RAS; ''Rossíyskaya akadémiya naúk'') consists of the national academy of Russia; a network of scientific research institutes from across the Russian Federation; and additional scientific and social units such as libraries, publishing units, and hospitals. Peter the Great established the academy (then the St. Petersburg Academy of Sciences) in 1724 with guidance from Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz, Gottfried Leibniz. From its establishment, the academy benefitted from a slate of foreign scholars as professors; the academy then gained its first clear set of goals from the 1747 Charter. The academy functioned as a university and research center throughout the mid-18th century until the university was dissolved, leaving research as the main pillar of the institution. The rest of the 18th century continuing on through the 19th century consisted of many published academic works from Academy scholars and a few Academy name changes, ending as The Imperial ...

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 Lat ...

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 ...
