Barbus Meridionalis
''Barbus'' is a genus of ray-finned fish in the family Cyprinidae. The type species of ''Barbus'' is the common barbel, first described as ''Cyprinus barbus'' and now named ''Barbus barbus''. ''Barbus'' is the namesake genus of the subfamily Barbinae, but given their relationships, that taxon is better included in the Cyprininae at least for the largest part (including the type species of ''Barbus''). Description and uses Their common names – barbs and barbels – refer to the fact that most members of the genera have a pair of barbels on their mouths, which they can use to search for food at the bottom of the water. Barbels are often fished for food; in some locations they are of commercial significance. The roe of barbels is poisonous, however. The large ''Barbus'' barbs are also often eaten in their native range. The smaller barbs are in some cases traded as aquarium fish. Some are quite significant, but as a whole, the genus is not yet as well represented in aqua ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Cyprinus Barbus
The common barbel (''Barbus barbus'') is a species of freshwater fish belonging to the family Cyprinidae. It shares the common name 'barbel' with its many relatives in the genus ''Barbus'', of which it is the type species. In Great Britain it is usually referred to simply as the barbel; similar names are used elsewhere in Europe, such as ''barbeau'' in France and ''flodbarb'' in Sweden. The name derives from the four whiskerlike structures located at the corners of the fish's mouth, which it uses to locate food. Distribution and habitat ''B. barbus'' is native throughout northern and eastern Europe, ranging north and east from the Pyrénées and Alps to Lithuania, Russia and the northern Black Sea basin. It is an adaptable fish which transplants well between waterways, and has become established as an introduced species in several countries including Scotland, Morocco and Italy. Although barbel are native to eastern flowing rivers in England, they have historically been transloca ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Southeast Asia
Southeast Asia is the geographical United Nations geoscheme for Asia#South-eastern Asia, southeastern region of Asia, consisting of the regions that are situated south of China, east of the Indian subcontinent, and northwest of the Mainland Australia, Australian mainland, which is part of Oceania. Southeast Asia is bordered to the north by East Asia, to the west by South Asia and the Bay of Bengal, to the east by Oceania and the Pacific Ocean, and to the south by Australia (continent), Australia and the Indian Ocean. Apart from the British Indian Ocean Territory and two out of Atolls of the Maldives, 26 atolls of the Maldives in South Asia, Maritime Southeast Asia is the only other subregion of Asia that lies partly within the Southern Hemisphere. Mainland Southeast Asia is entirely in the Northern Hemisphere. Timor-Leste and the southern portion of Indonesia are the parts of Southeast Asia that lie south of the equator.

Clypeobarbus
''Clypeobarbus'' is a genus of small cyprinid fishes native to Africa. Most species are restricted to the Congo River Basin, but ''C. pleuropholis'' is also found in the Chad Basin, while ''C. bellcrossi'' is from the Zambezi and ''C. hypsolepis'' is from rivers in Western Africa. Species There are currently 9 recognized species in this genus: * '' Clypeobarbus bellcrossi'' ( R. A. Jubb, 1965) (Gorgeous barb) * '' Clypeobarbus bomokandi'' ( G. S.

Carasobarbus
''Carasobarbus'', the himris, is a small genus of ray-finned fishes in the family Cyprinidae. Its species are found in rivers, streams, lakes and ponds in Western Asia and Northwest Africa. ''C. canis'' can reach in total length, but most other species are up to around half or one-quarter of that size. Like many other "barbs", it was long included in ''Barbus''. It appears to be a fairly close relative of the typical barbels and relatives – the genus ''Barbus'' proper –, but closer still to the large hexaploid species nowadays separated in '' Labeobarbus''. Because of the improved phylogenetic knowledge which indicates ''Barbus'' was highly paraphyletic in its wide circumscription –, ''Carasobarbus'' and some other closely related "barbs" (e.g. '' "Barbus" reinii'') may be included in ''Labeobarbus'' to avoid a profusion of very small genera.de Graaf ''et al.''

Capoeta
''Capoeta'', also known as scrapers, is a genus of fish in the family Cyprinidae found in Western Asia. The distribution extends from Turkey to the Levant, to Transcaucasia, Iraq, Turkmenistan, in Armenia, particularly in lake Sevan and northern Afghanistan. This genus is most closely related to '' Luciobarbus'' and in itself is divided into three morphologically, biogeographically and genetically distinct groups or clades: the Mesopotamian clade, the Anatolian-Iranian clade and the Aralo-Caspian clade. The Mesopotamian clade was split off to '' Paracapoeta'' in 2022. Species These are the currently recognized species in this genus: * '' Capoeta aculeata'' (Valenciennes Valenciennes (, also , , ; ; or ; ) is a communes of France, commune in the Nord (French department), Nord Departments of France, department, Hauts-de-France, France.

Caecobarbus
''Caecobarbus'' is a monospecific genus of freshwater ray-finned fish belonging to the family Cyprinidae. which includes the carps, barbs and related fishes. The only species in the genus is ''Caecobarbus geertsi'', the African blind barb or Congo blind barb (known as ''Nzonzi a mpofo'' in the local Kikongo language, meaning "blind barb"). This threatened cavefish is only known from Democratic Republic of the Congo, George Albert Boulenger described this fish in 1921 and it apparently lacks any close relatives in the Congo region. Despite its common name, "African blind barb", other blind cave cyprinids are indigenous to Africa, notably the Somalian '' Barbopsis devecchi'' and '' Phreatichthys andruzzii''. Range The Congo blind barb is found only in the Thysville Cave system, a part of the lower Congo River basin (notably Kwilu and Inkisi tributaries) in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. The area where it is found covers about , and is located at an altitude around ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Barbonymus
''Barbonymus'' is a ray-finned fish genus in the family Cyprinidae, containing some barb species. The genus was only established in 1999, with the tinfoil barb (''B. schwanenfeldii'') as type species; thus, these fish are sometimes collectively called tinfoils. The new genus was established in recognition of the fact that some large Asian "barbs", formerly rather indiscriminately lumped in '' Barbus'' (typical barbels and relatives), '' Barbodes'' (barb-like carps) and '' Puntius'' (spotted barbs), form a distinct evolutionary lineage. They are actually very close relatives of the common carp (''Cyprinus carpio''). Even though only five species are included at present, it is not certain whether these form a monophyletic lineage; the Java barb (''B. gonionotus'') for example seems to be very close indeed to '' Cyclocheilichthys'', which unites a number of barb-like "carps". Past hybridization is known widely in Cyprinidae, and confounds molecular and other cladistic studies ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Barbodes
''Barbodes'' is a genus of small to medium-sized cyprinid fish native to tropical Asia. The majority of the species are from Southeast Asia. Many species are threatened and some from the Philippines (Lake Lanao) are already extinct. A survey carried out in 1992 only found three of the endemic ''Barbodes'' species,Endangered Species Handbook: It's Too Late – Fish Extinctions.' Retrieved 29 September 2012 and only two (''Barbodes lindog'' and ''Barbodes tumba, B. tumba'') were found in 2008. Several members of this genus were formerly included in ''Puntius''. Etymology The name is derived from the Latin word ''barbus'', meaning "barbel", and the Greek language, Greek word ''oides'', meaning "similar to". Species There are currently 48 recognized species in this genus, of which 15 are considered extinct and 2 considered possibly extinct: * ''Barbodes amarus'' Albert William Herre, Herre, 1924 (Pait) * ''Barbodes aurotaeniatus'' (Gilbert Tirant, Tirant, 1885) * ''Barbodes banks ...
