Leuciscus
''Leuciscus'' is a genus of freshwater and brackish water ray-finned fishes belonging to the family Leuciscidae, which includes the daces, Eurasian minnows and related species. They are inland water fishes commonly called Eurasian daces. The genus is widespread from Europe to Siberia. Species broadly distributed in Europe include the common dace ''Leuciscus leuciscus'' and the ide ''L. idus''. The European chubs were formerly also included in ''Leuciscus'', but they are now usually separated in another genus, '' Squalius'' (e.g. the chub, ''Squalius cephalus''). The delimitation of ''Leuciscus'' and ''Squalius'' is not completely resolved; some species have been moved from one genus to the other only in recent years. The genera '' Petroleuciscus'' and '' Telestes'' have also been split off from ''Leuciscus'' recently; for the latter the same holds true as for ''Squalius'' regarding the unclear delimitations. Species ''Leuciscus'' contains the following species: * '' ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Common Dace
The common dace (''Leuciscus leuciscus'') is a species of freshwater and brackish water ray-finned fish from the family Leuciscidae which is native to Europe but which has been introduced to other parts of the world. It is a quarry species for coarse anglers. Description The common dace differs from other members in the genus ''Leuciscus'' found in Europe by its inferior mouth, slightly longer upper jaw which has the tip of the upper lip level with the centre line of the eye and the lack of an obvious snout. It has a yellowish iris and a body which is covered in large silvery scales, the lateral line having 49–52 scales. The anal fin has a concave margin and the caudal fin is forked. The dorsal fin has 2–3 spines and 7–9 soft rays while the anal fin has 3 spines and 8–9 soft rays. The maximum size attained is a total length of . Distribution The common dace is native to Europe and northern Asia where its occurs in the basins of the North Sea, Baltic Sea, White Sea and Bar ...

Ide (fish)
The ide (''Leuciscus idus''), or orfe, is a species of freshwater ray-finned fish belonging to the family Leuciscidae. The ide is found in larger rivers, ponds, and lakes across Northern Europe and Asia. It has been introduced outside its native range into Europe, North America, and New Zealand. It is a popular ornamental fish, usually kept in outdoor ponds in temperate regions from which it often escapes. Etymology The name "ide" is from Swedish ''id'', originally referring to its bright colour (compare the German dialect word ''Aitel'', a kind of bright fish and Old High German ''Eit'', funeral pyre, fire).''Webster's Third New International Dictionary of the English Language, Unabridged'' (Merriam, 1961; repr. Merriam-Webster, 1981), p. 723 s.v. "edify." The alternative name "orfe" derives from German ''Orf'', through the Latin ''orphus'' meaning a "sea fish" or "sea perch", which in turn derives from the Greek ''orphōs''.

''Leuciscus burdigalensis'', the beaked dace, is a species of freshwater ray-finned fish belonging to the family Leuciscidae, the family which includes the daces, the minnows and related fishes. This species is endemic to Western France. Taxonomy ''Leuciscus burdigalensis'' was first formally described in 1844 by the French zoologist Achille Valenciennes with its type locality givenas the Gironde estuary.

Leuciscus Bearnensis
The Bearn beaked dace (''Leuciscus bearnensis'') is a species of freshwater ray-finned fish belonging to the family Leuciscidae. This species has been recorded from several localities in the Adour drainage in France. Taxonomy The Bearn beaked dace was first formally described as ''Squlaius bearnensis'' in 1866 by the French zoologist Émile Blanchard with its type locality given as Lac de Mouriscot, near Biarritz. In the past it was regarded as a synonym of both the common dace (''L. leuciscus'') and the beaked dace ('' L. burdigalensis'').
