In October 2010, the Gachedili canyon was made a protected area by the government of Georgia. Etymology and history The ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Barbel (fish)
Barbels are a group of carp-like freshwater fish, almost all of the genus ''Barbus''. They are usually found in gravel and rocky-bottomed moderate-flowing rivers with high dissolved oxygen content, known as the ''European river zonation#Barbel zone, Barbel zone''. A typical adult barbel can range from in length and weigh between and , depending on species. The name barbel derived from the Latin ''barba'', meaning beard, a reference to the two pairs of barbel (anatomy), barbels, a longer pair pointing forwards and slightly down positioned, on the side of the mouth. Fish described as barbels by English-speaking people may not be known as barbels in their native language, although the root of the word may be similar. For instance, the Mediterranean barbel (''Barbus meridionalis'') is known as ''barbeau méridional'' or ''barbeau truité'' in France, but also as ''drogan'', ''durgan'', ''tourgan'', ''turquan'' and ''truitat''.

Barbus Barbus
The common barbel (''Barbus barbus'') is a species of freshwater fish belonging to the family Cyprinidae. It shares the common name 'barbel' with its many relatives in the genus ''Barbus'', of which it is the type species. In Great Britain it is usually referred to simply as the barbel; similar names are used elsewhere in Europe, such as ''barbeau'' in France and ''flodbarb'' in Sweden. The name derives from the four whiskerlike structures located at the corners of the fish's mouth, which it uses to locate food. Distribution and habitat ''B. barbus'' is native throughout northern and eastern Europe, ranging north and east from the Pyrénées and Alps to Lithuania, Russia and the northern Black Sea basin. It is an adaptable fish which transplants well between waterways, and has become established as an introduced species in several countries including Scotland, Morocco and Italy.

Drainage Basin
A drainage basin is an area of land in which all flowing surface water converges to a single point, such as a river mouth, or flows into another body of water, such as a lake or ocean. A basin is separated from adjacent basins by a perimeter, the drainage divide, made up of a succession of elevated features, such as ridges and hills. A basin may consist of smaller basins that merge at river confluences, forming a hierarchical pattern. Other terms for a drainage basin are catchment area, catchment basin, drainage area, river basin, water basin, and impluvium. In North America, they are commonly called a watershed, though in other English-speaking places, " watershed" is used only in its original sense, that of the drainage divide line. A drainage basin's boundaries are determined by watershed delineation, a common task in environmental engineering and science. In a closed drainage basin, or endorheic basin, rather than flowing to the ocean, water converges toward the ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
