Scardinius
''Scardinius'' is a genus of freshwater ray-finned fishes belonging to the family Leuciscidae, which includes the daces, Eurasian minnows and related species. The fishes in this genus are commonly called rudds. Locally, the name "rudd" without any further qualifiers is also used for individual species, particularly the common rudd (''S. erythrophthalmus''). The rudd can be distinguished from the very similar roach by way of the rudd's upturned mouth, allowing it to pick food items such as aquatic insects from the surface of the water with minimal disturbance. The Greek rudd (''S. graecus'') is a similar fish, about 40 cm long. It occurs only in the southern tip of the Greek mainland. It lives in lakes and slow-flowing rivers, forming large schools. It spawns around April–June among underwater plants in shallow water. It feeds on small crustaceans, the larvae and pupae of insects, and on plant material. The majority of its food is taken at or near the surface of the wate ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Common Rudd
The common rudd (''Scardinius erythrophthalmus'') is a benthos, bentho-pelagic freshwater Actinopterygii, ray-finned fish belonging to the Family (biology), family Leuciscidae. This species is widely spread in Europe and central Asia, around the basins of the North Sea, North, Baltic Sea, Baltic, Black Sea, Black, Caspian Sea, Caspian and Aral Sea, Aral seas. Identification Morphologically, this species is very similar to the roach (''Rutilus rutilus''), with which it can be easily confused. It can be identified by the yellow eye colour. The eye of the roach has a big red spot above the pupil, that can be more or less conspicuous. The rudd has an upturned mouth allowing it to feed easily at the top of the water. The placement of the dorsal fin is more to the rear which is even visible in very young fish. There are normally only one or two scales between the tip of the pelvic fins and the anal fins, while on the roach there are five. Also the skin of the rudd is yellowish green, w ...

Scardinius Hesperidicus
''Scardinius hesperidicus'', the Italian rudd is a species of freshwater ray-finned fish belonging to the family Leuciscidae, which includes the daces, Eurasian minnows and related fishes. This species is found in the Po and Adriatic drainages east of the Po in Italy, San Marino and Switzerland, and has been introduced into other area watersheds, especially in Italy. Taxonomy ''Scardinius hesperidicus'' was first formally described in 1845 by the French art collector and biologist Charles Lucien Bonaparte with its type locality given as the lakes of Piedmont in Italy. This species was formerly considered to be a synonym of the common rudd (''S. erythrophthalmus''). The Italian rudd belongs to the genus '' Scardinius'', commonly referred to as rudds, which belongs to the subfamily Leuciscinae of the family Leuciscidae. The Italian rudd is very similar to the Tiber rudd ('' S. scardafa'') of southern and Central Italy and have been treated as conspecific. These two rudds do show ...
