Vimba Melanops
The Macedonian vimba (''Vimba melanops'') or malamída, is a species of freshwater ray-finned fish belonging to the family Leuciscidae, which includes the daces, Eurasian minnows and related species. This fish is endemic to the southern Balkans. Taxonomy The Macedonina vimba was first formally described as ''Abramis melanops'' in 1837 by the Austrian ichthyologist Johann Jakob Heckel with its type locality given as the Maritza River in eastern Rumelia, in modern Bulgaria. This species is now classified in the genus ''Vimba'' which was proposed as a genus by the Austrian zoologist Leopold Fitzinger in 1873 and is classified within the subfamily Leuciscinae in the Family Leuciscidae. Etymology The Macedonian vimba belongs to the genus ''Vimba'', a name which Fitzinger used tautonymously for '' Cyprinus vimba'' which is thought to be derived from the Swedish vernacular name ''vimma'' for ''Vimba vimba''. The specific name, ''melanops'', mean "black face" or "black look", which ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Fish of Turkey
Endemic fauna of Turkey
''Vimba mirabilis'', the Menderes vimba or Menderes bream, is a species of freshwater ray-finned fish belonging to the family Leuciscidae, which includes the daces, Eurasian minnows and related species. It is endemic to Turkey, specifically around Büyük Menderes River. It is still abundant in reservoirs and therefore considered as of least concern for conservation measures.

Actinopterygii
Actinopterygii (; ), members of which are known as ray-finned fish or actinopterygians, is a class (biology), class of Osteichthyes, bony fish that comprise over 50% of living vertebrate species. They are so called because of their lightly built fish fin, fins made of webbings of skin supported by radially extended thin bony spine (zoology), spines called ''lepidotrichia'', as opposed to the bulkier, fleshy lobed fins of the sister taxon, sister clade Sarcopterygii (lobe-finned fish). Resembling folding fans, the actinopterygian fins can easily change shape and wetted area, providing superior thrust-to-weight ratios per movement compared to sarcopterygian and chondrichthyian fins. The fin rays attach directly to the proximal or basal skeletal elements, the radials, which represent the articulation (anatomy), articulation between these fins and the internal skeleton (e.g., pelvic and pectoral girdles). The vast majority of actinopterygians are teleosts. By species count, they domi ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Dace
A dace is a small fish that can be one of many different species. The unmodified name is usually a reference to the common dace (''Leuciscus leuciscus'').

Daces in the Cyprinidae: * Common dace, '' Leuciscus leuciscus'' * Chinese mud carp, '' Cirrhinus chinensis'' (called "dace" in Hong Kong) or mud carp (''Cirrhinus molitorella'') * Columbia River dace, '' Ptychocheilus oregonensis'' (a pikeminnow) * Desert dace, '' Eremichthys acros'' (a monotypic genus) * European daces, genus ''Leuciscus'' * Fallfish, '' Semotilus corporalis'' (a creek chub called "dace" in Canada) * Horned dace, '' Semotilus atromaculatus'' (a creek chub) * Japanese dace '' Tribolodon hakonensis'', genus '' Tribolodon'' * Korean splendid dace, '' Coreoleuciscus splendidus'' * Lake Candidus dace, '' Candidia barbata'' * Mexican daces, genus †'' Evarra'' * Moapa dace, '' Moapa coriacea'' (a monotypic ...

''Phoxinus'' is a genus of freshwater fish in the family Leuciscidae of order Cypriniformes, and the only members of the subfamily Phoxininae, or Eurasian minnows.

Europe
Europe is a continent located entirely in the Northern Hemisphere and mostly in the Eastern Hemisphere. It is bordered by the Arctic Ocean to the north, the Atlantic Ocean to the west, the Mediterranean Sea to the south, and Asia to the east. Europe shares the landmass of Eurasia with Asia, and of Afro-Eurasia with both Africa and Asia. Europe is commonly considered to be Boundaries between the continents#Asia and Europe, separated from Asia by the Drainage divide, watershed of the Ural Mountains, the Ural (river), Ural River, the Caspian Sea, the Greater Caucasus, the Black Sea, and the waterway of the Bosporus, Bosporus Strait.

Asia
Asia ( , ) is the largest continent in the world by both land area and population. It covers an area of more than 44 million square kilometres, about 30% of Earth's total land area and 8% of Earth's total surface area. The continent, which has long been home to the majority of the human population, was the site of many of the first civilisations. Its 4.7 billion people constitute roughly 60% of the world's population. Asia shares the landmass of Eurasia with Europe, and of Afro-Eurasia with both Europe and Africa. In general terms, it is bounded on the east by the Pacific Ocean, on the south by the Indian Ocean, and on the north by the Arctic Ocean. The border of Asia with Europe is a social constructionism, historical and cultural construct, as there is no clear physical and geographical separation between them. A commonly accepted division places Asia to the east of the Suez Canal separating it from Africa; and to the east of the Turkish straits, the Ural Mountains an ...

Leopold Fitzinger
Leopold Joseph Franz Johann Fitzinger (13 April 1802 – 20 September 1884) was an Austrian zoologist. Fitzinger was born in Vienna and studied botany at the University of Vienna under Nikolaus Joseph von Jacquin. He worked at the Vienna Naturhistorisches Museum between 1817, when he joined as a volunteer assistant, and 1821, when he left to become secretary to the provincial legislature of Lower Austria; after a hiatus, he was appointed assistant curator in 1844 and remained at the Naturhistorisches Museum until 1861. Later, he became director of the zoos of Munich and Budapest. In 1826, he published ''Neue Classification der Reptilien'', based partly on the work of his friends Friedrich Wilhelm Hemprich and Heinrich Boie. In 1843, he published ''Systema Reptilium'', covering geckos, chameleons and iguanas. Fitzinger is commemorated in the scientific names of five reptiles: ''Algyroides fitzingeri'', ''Leptotyphlops fitzingeri'', ''Liolaemus fitzingerii'', ''Micrurus tener, Micr ...
