Paracapoeta
''Paracapoeta'' is a genus of fish in the family Cyprinidae found in Mesopotamia, Cilicia and the Levant, Western Asia. This genus is closely related to ''Luciobarbus'' and was formerly the Mesopotamian clade of ''Capoeta'' before being split off in 2022. The generic name alludes to (pará) meaning "near" and ''Capoeta''. Species There are currently 5 recognized species in this genus: * '' Paracapoeta anamisensis'' ( Zareian, Esmaeili & Freyhof, 2016) * '' Paracapoeta barroisi'' ( Lortet, 1894) (Orontes scraper, Tigris barb) * '' Paracapoeta erhani'' (Turan, Kottelat & Ekmekçi, 2008) (Ceyhan scraper) * '' Paracapoeta mandica'' (Bianco Bianco is a town and ''comune'' in the Province of Reggio Calabria, in southern Italy.

Paracapoeta Erhani
''Paracapoeta erhani'', also known as the Ceyhan scraper or Seyhan scraper, is a Turkish species of freshwater cyprinid fish in the genus ''Paracapoeta''. It lives in the drainage basins of the Ceyhan and Seyhan Rivers, in many kinds of streams and also in reservoirs. These waters are in a relatively good ecological shape, and the species is therefore considered to be safe (least concern). The Seyhan population, formerly classified as ''Capoeta turani'' was classified as Near Threatened A near-threatened species is a species which has been categorized as "Near Threatened" (NT) by the International Union for Conservation of Nature as that may be vulnerable to endangerment in the near future, but it does not currently qualify fo ... before being synonymised, which happened in the same paper that erected ''Paracapoeta'' in 2022.

Paracapoeta Trutta
''Paracapoeta trutta'', the longspine scraper or spotted scraper, is a species of cyprinid fish from the Middle East The Middle East ( ar, الشرق الأوسط, ISO 233: ) is a geopolitical region commonly encompassing Arabia (including the Arabian Peninsula and Bahrain), Asia Minor (Asian part of Turkey except Hatay Province), East Thrace (Europ .... It is known from inland waters in Iran, Iraq, Syria, Armenia and Turkey, and is often quite abundant. It spawns in running waters, but inhabits in other times also many other habitats including reservoirs and marshes. Most commonly it is found in slowly running lowland rivers. ''Paracapoeta trutta'' is commonly used as a food fish. It may grow up to length.

Paracapoeta Barroisi
''Paracapoeta barroisi'', also known as the Orontes scraper or Tigris barb, is a species of freshwater cyprinid fish from the Near East. This species is up to long and has sides with brownish spots irregularly arranged in the upper half of the body. Its distribution was previously thought to comprise the whole Tigris–Euphrates basin and extend to Iran. More recently, this species is thought to be restricted to a small region of the Orontes River basin in Turkey and Syria, and it is now considered endangered An endangered species is a species that is very likely to become extinct in the near future, either worldwide or in a particular political jurisdiction. Endangered species may be at risk due to factors such as habitat loss, poaching and inv ....

Louis Charles Émile Lortet
Louis Charles Émile Lortet (22 August 1836 – 26 December 1909) was a French physician, botanist, zoologist and Egyptologist who was a native of Oullins. He earned his medical doctorate in 1861, and his degree in natural sciences in 1867. He served as premier doyen at the Faculty of Medicine of Lyon from 1877 until 1906. Also, from 1868 to 1909, he was director of the natural history museum in Lyon. Lortet is remembered for his scientific and zoological expeditions to the Middle East ( Syria, Lebanon and Egypt). He performed studies of mummified animals from the New Kingdom of ancient Egypt, and in 1880 took part in an excavation of a Phoenician necropolis. Lortet was a member of numerous scientific societies, such as the ''Société de géographie de Lyon'', being a founding member in 1858. Species with the epithet of ''lorteti'' are named in his honor; an example being the pufferfish species ''Carinotetraodon lorteti''. Family His Grandmother Clémence Lortet (17 Septemb ...

Cyprinidae Genera
Cyprinidae is a family of freshwater fish commonly called the carp or minnow family. It includes the carps, the true minnows, and relatives like the barbs and barbels. Cyprinidae is the largest and most diverse fish family and the largest vertebrate animal family in general with about 3,000 species, of which only 1,270 remain extant, divided into about 370 genera. Cyprinids range from about 12 mm in size to the giant barb (''Catlocarpio siamensis''). By genus and species count, the family makes up more than two-thirds of the ostariophysian order Cypriniformes. The family name is derived from the Greek word ( 'carp'). Biology and ecology Cyprinids are stomachless fish with toothless jaws. Even so, food can be effectively chewed by the gill rakers of the specialized last gill bow. These pharyngeal teeth allow the fish to make chewing motions against a chewing plate formed by a bony process of the skull. The pharyngeal teeth are unique to each species and are used by ...

Freshwater Fish Genera
Fresh water or freshwater is any naturally occurring liquid or frozen water containing low concentrations of dissolved salts and other total dissolved solids. Although the term specifically excludes seawater and brackish water, it does include non- salty mineral-rich waters such as chalybeate springs. Fresh water may encompass frozen and meltwater in ice sheets, ice caps, glaciers, snowfields and icebergs, natural precipitations such as rainfall, snowfall, hail/ sleet and graupel, and surface runoffs that form inland bodies of water such as wetlands, ponds, lakes, rivers, streams, as well as groundwater contained in aquifers, subterranean rivers and lakes. Fresh water is the water resource that is of the most and immediate use to humans. Water is critical to the survival of all living organisms. Many organisms can thrive on salt water, but the great majority of higher plants and most insects, amphibians, reptiles, mammals and birds need fresh water to survive. Fresh ...

Barbinae
Barbinae are a subfamily of fish included in the family Cyprinidae. The taxonomy for this group has not been entirely worked out as some genera historically considered within it are still considered incertae sedis with respect to being a member of the family, and may be included here, while others may be moved to other subfamilies. Genera Genera normally included here: * ''Acrossocheilus'' * ''Aulopyge'' * ''Balantiocheilos'' * ''Barbus'' – typical barbels (and provisionally African barbs) * ''Carasobarbus'' * ''Clypeobarbus'' * ''Dawkinsia'' * ''Desmopuntius'' * ''Diptychus'' * ''Enteromius'' * ''Haludaria'' * †''Hsianwenia wui, Hsianwenia'' * ''Luciobarbus'' * ''Mesopotamichthys'' * ''Neobarynotus'' * ''Oliotius'' * ''Oreichthys'' * ''Pethia'' * ''Pseudobarbus'' * ''Puntigrus'' * ''Puntius'' * ''Sahyadria'' * ''Schizopyge'' * ''Schizothorax'' * ''Sinocyclocheilus'' * ''Striuntius'' * ''Systomus'' References Further reading * * Description of a new cyprinid fish ...

Johann Jakob Heckel
Johann Jakob Heckel (23 January 1790 – 1 March 1857) was an Austrian taxidermist, zoologist, and ichthyologist from Mannheim in the Electoral Palatinate. Life Though not a formally trained biologist, he worked his way up through the ranks to eventually become the director of the Fish Collection at the Naturhistorisches Museum in Vienna. For the most part, he was not a traveler or explorer like many of the scientists of the time, he remained in Vienna, where he studied and catalogued specimens sent to him from the field. Among those who brought specimens to him were Karl Alexander Hügel, Joseph Russegger and Theodor Kotschy — involving collection activities in Kashmir, the Middle East and northeastern Africa that greatly enriched the Vienna museum. Fish were his specialty and he worked with many of the greatest ichthyologists of his time including Cuvier, Valenciennes, Bonaparte, Müller, and Troschel.
