Oxynoemacheilus Anatolicus
''Oxynoemacheilus anatolicus'', the Burdur loach, is a species of stone loach in the genus ''Oxynoemacheilus''. It has been only recorded from three spring fed streams which used to drain into Lake Burdur in south-western Anatolia, Turkey. Its habitat is streams with a slow current flowing through dense aquatic vegetation over a bed of sand, mud or gravel. It is still found in the three streams and in one it is said to be abundant but it is still threatened by water extraction, pollution and dam construction. In addition, waterbodies in the area it is found in are drying out because of climate change and unsustainable extraction of water for human use. ''Oxynoemacheilus anatolicus'' is distinguished from its congeners by having a dorsal fin which has 5 spines and 7 branched rays, the pectoral fin Fins are moving appendages protruding from the body of fish that interact with water to generate thrust and help the fish aquatic locomotion, swim. Apart from the tail or caudal fin, ...

Oxynoemacheilus Argyrogramma
''Oxynoemacheilus argyrogramma'', the two-spot loach is a species of ray-finned fish in the genus ''Oxynoemacheilus''.Kottelat, M. (2012)Conspectus cobitidum: an inventory of the loaches of the world (Teleostei: Cypriniformes: Cobitoidei). ''The Raffles Bulletin of Zoology, Suppl. No. 26: 1-199.'' This species is found in the drainage of the Queiq River in Syria and Turkey, and the upper Euphrates drainage in Turkey and possibly in this drainage in Syria and Iraq. It has almost been extirpated from the Queiq as this river has virtually dried out but it remains abundant in the Euphrates. This species can be found in a wide range of habitats as long as there is a moderately fast current from small upland streams to banks of large rivers. It can also occur in stagnant water bodies such as reservoirs. It is threatened by water abstraction, lowering rainfall due to climate change and the construction of dams. The economic development of the area where this species occurs exacerbates the ...

Oxynoemacheilus Bergianus
''Oxynoemacheilus bergianus'', the Kura sportive loach, is a species of ray-finned fish in the genus ''Oxynoemacheilus''.Kottelat, M. (2012)Conspectus cobitidum: an inventory of the loaches of the world (Teleostei: Cypriniformes: Cobitoidei). ''The Raffles Bulletin of Zoology, Suppl. No. 26: 1-199.'' This species is found in Lake Urumiyeh and Namak Lake basins in Iran, in the southern Caspian basin from Kura east to the Sefid-Rud drainage. It can also be found in the headwaters of Tigris in Turkey, Iraq and in Karoun, Iran as well as those of the Euphrates The Euphrates ( ; see #Etymology, below) is the longest and one of the most historically important rivers of West Asia.

Oxynoemacheilus Banarescui
''Oxynoemacheilus banarescui'', the Paphlagonian sportive loach, is a species of stone loach from the genus ''Oxynoemacheilus''. It is endemic to the Filyos River in northern Turkey where it is currently widespread and abundant. However, the population appears to be declining and the causes of this are thought to be increased development of the drainage basin and the construction of new dams. This species prefers fast flowing streams with rocky or gravel bottoms and cannot survive in reservoirs, although the dams on the Fliyos are for flood control and not to create reservoirs and their impact on this species is unknown. The specific name honours Petre Mihai Bănărescu (1921-2009), a Romanian ichthyologist Ichthyology is the branch of zoology devoted to the study of fish, including bony fish (Osteichthyes), cartilaginous fish (Chondrichthyes), and jawless fish (Agnatha). According to FishBase, 35,800 species of fish had been described as of March 2 .... References {{Taxonbar, ...

Oxynoemacheilus Araxensis
''Oxynoemacheilus araxensis'' is a species of ray-finned fish in the genus ''Oxynoemacheilus''. It was described from specimens taken at a single locality near Kandili, the type locality, the upper drainage of the Euphrates in eastern Turkey. It has never been recorded anywhere else although there are many populations of superficially similar loaches in the Euphrates drainage which have not yet been identified; these may prove to be of this species or of ''Oxynoemacheilus kaynaki ''Oxynoemacheilus kaynaki'', the medil loach, is a species of stome loach which is found in the Göksu, a right hand tributary of the Euphrates in southeast Anatolia Anatolia (), also known as Asia Minor, is a peninsula in West Asia that m ...''.

Oxynoemacheilus Angorae
Angora loach (''Oxynoemacheilus angorae'') is a species of ray-finned fish in the family Nemacheilidae. It is found in Israel, Jordan, Lebanon, Syria, and Turkey. It is found in Sea of Marmara and Black Sea from Simav east to Kızılırmak River drainages and drainages of Ilgin, Lake Akşehir and 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 .... It is threatened by water abstraction, pollution and dam construction. The future threats in the southern range are increasing water abstraction and droughts. In the northern range, it is already and will continue to be threatened by massive development of hydropower dams. Although IUCN listed it as Data Deficient in 1996, it now lists the species as Least Concern due to its widespread abundance. The report says it is so abund ...
