Gobio Intermedius
The Eber gudgeon (''Gobio intermedius'') is a species of gudgeon, a small freshwater ray-finned fish in the family Gobionidae. It is found in streams flowing to Lakes Eber and Akşehir in central Anatolia Anatolia (), also known as Asia Minor, is a peninsula in West Asia that makes up the majority of the land area of Turkey. It is the westernmost protrusion of Asia and is geographically bounded by the Mediterranean Sea to the south, the Aegean .... The species previously occurred in the lakes themselves but have been extirpated due to the lakes drying out and from pollution.

Fahire Battalgil
Fahire Battalgil (1902 - 1948) was a Turkish ichthyologist who was one of the first women to be appointed as a professor at a university in Turkey. Name Battalgil was known as Fahire Akim Hanim during the early part of her life. The surname Battalgil was adopted by her family to comply with the Republic of Turkey's 1934 Surname Law and the spelling of this was changed to Battalgazi from 1943. Early life Fahire Akim Hanim was born in Istanbul in 1902, she attended the French school of Notre Dame de Sion in Damascus where her father, Dr Etem Akif Bey, had attended. Her secondary school was the Bezmi Alem High School from where she graduated in 1924. She graduated from the Darülfünun in 1926 with a qualification in Natural Science. Career From April 1926 to October 1927 Fahire Akim Hanim had a position at the Tercan Vocational School, now part of Erzincan University where she was assigned to the Faculty of Science on 1 June 1927, being appointed as an assistant in the Institute o ...

Gobio
''Gobio'' is a genus of typical gudgeons, ray-finned fish in the family Cyprinidae many of which are endemics of south-eastern Europe. Members of the genus are usually small fish, rarely longer than 10 cm. Many species previously in ''Gobio'' are now placed in the sister genus ''Romanogobio''. Species These are the currently recognized species in this genus: * '' Gobio acutipinnatus'' Men'shikov, 1939 * '' Gobio alverniae'' Kottelat & Persat 2005 (Auvergne gudgeon) * '' Gobio artvinicus'' Turan, Japoshvili, Aksu & Bektaş, 2016 * '' Gobio balcanicus'' Dimovski & Grupche, 1977 * '' Gobio baliki'' Turan, Kaya, Bayçelebi, Aksu & Bektaş, 2017 * '' Gobio brevicirris'' Fowler, 1976 (Don gudgeon) * '' Gobio bulgaricus'' Drensky, 1926 (Aegean gudgeon) * '' Gobio carpathicus'' Vladykov, 1925 (Carpathian gudgeon) * '' Gobio caucasicus'' S. N. Kamensky, 1901 (Colchic gudgeon) * '' Gobio coriparoides'' Nichols 1925 * '' Gobio cynocephalus'' Dybowski, 1869 (Siberian g ...

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] |
Family (biology)
Family (, : ) is one of the eight major hierarchical taxonomic ranks in Linnaean taxonomy. It is classified between order and genus. A family may be divided into subfamilies, which are intermediate ranks between the ranks of family and genus. The official family names are Latin in origin; however, popular names are often used: for example, walnut trees and hickory trees belong to the family Juglandaceae, but that family is commonly referred to as the "walnut family". The delineation of what constitutes a family—or whether a described family should be acknowledged—is established and decided upon by active taxonomists. There are not strict regulations for outlining or acknowledging a family, yet in the realm of plants, these classifications often rely on both the vegetative and reproductive characteristics of plant species. Taxonomists frequently hold varying perspectives on these descriptions, leading to a lack of widespread consensus within the scientific community ...

Gobionidae
Gobioninae is a monophyletic family of Eurasian cyprinoid fishes. This is a species rich clade which, as a subfamily of the Cyprinidae was divided into five tribes: Gobionini, Pseudogobionini, Hemibarbini, Coreiini, and Sarcocheilichthyini. These subdivisions are not recognised by '' Eschmeyer's Catalog of Fishes''. To adapt to different masticatory operations, members of the Gobioninae developed various types of pharyngeal bones and teeth; some have intermediate pharyngeal bones with rows of diverse teeth (conical, compressed, and coarsely compressed), others have broad pharyngeal bones with a single row of molar teeth. Some Gobioninae have narrow pharyngeal bones with a row of extremely compressed teeth. Genera These genera are included in the subfamily Gobioninae according to ''Eschmeyer's Catalog of Fishes'': * '' Abbottina'' D. S. Jordan & Fowler, 1903 * '' Acanthogobio'' Herzenstein, 1892 * '' Belligobio'' D. S. Jordan & Hubbs, 1925 * '' Biwia'' D. S. Jordan & ...

Lake Eber
Lake Eber () is a Fresh water, freshwater lake in Afyon Province, Turkey. The lake used to be connected with nearby Lake Akşehir and was named ''Tessarakonta Martyron'', the Forty Martyr's lake, in premodern times. Geography The lake is between the district centers of Çay, Bolvadin and Sultandağı of Afyon Province. The midpoint is at about . The altitude of the water surface with respect to sea level is . The surface area fluctuates and at times it may be exceed . In past the maximum recorded depth was . Geology Lake Eber is a part of Akarçay closed basin, a tectonic basin about . At the conclusion of the last glacier age (Pleistocene) a vast lake was formed in the basin. But after the water level dropped, the lake was fragmentized into two lakes. Lake Eber is at the north west and Lake Akşehir which shares the same history lies at the south east. Presently the distance between the two lakes (nearest points) is about . Tributaries The tributaries are rivulets from th ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Anatolia
Anatolia (), also known as Asia Minor, is a peninsula in West Asia that makes up the majority of the land area of Turkey. It is the westernmost protrusion of Asia and is geographically bounded by the Mediterranean Sea to the south, the Aegean Sea to the west, the Turkish Straits to the northwest, and the Black Sea to the north. The eastern and southeastern limits have been expanded either to the entirety of Asiatic Turkey or to an imprecise line from the Black Sea to the Gulf of Alexandretta. Topographically, the Sea of Marmara connects the Black Sea with the Aegean Sea through the Bosporus and the Dardanelles, and separates Anatolia from Thrace in Southeast Europe. During the Neolithic, Anatolia was an early centre for the development of farming after it originated in the adjacent Fertile Crescent. Beginning around 9,000 years ago, there was a major migration of Anatolian Neolithic Farmers into Neolithic Europe, Europe, with their descendants coming to dominate the continent a ...

Fish Described In 1944
A fish (: fish or fishes) is an aquatic, anamniotic, gill-bearing vertebrate animal with swimming fins and a hard skull, but lacking limbs with digits. Fish can be grouped into the more basal jawless fish and the more common jawed fish, the latter including all living cartilaginous and bony fish, as well as the extinct placoderms and acanthodians. In a break to the long tradition of grouping all fish into a single class (Pisces), modern phylogenetics views fish as a paraphyletic group. Most fish are cold-blooded, their body temperature varying with the surrounding water, though some large active swimmers like white shark and tuna can hold a higher core temperature. Many fish can communicate acoustically with each other, such as during courtship displays. The study of fish is known as ichthyology. The earliest fish appeared during the Cambrian as small filter feeders; they continued to evolve through the Paleozoic, diversifying into many forms. The earliest fish with ...
