European Chub
''Squalius cephalus'', the common chub, European chub or simply chub, is a species of freshwater ray-finned fish belonging to the family Leuciscidae, the daces, Eurasian minnows and related fishes. This species is found in Europe where it frequents both slow and moderate rivers, as well as canals, lakes and still waterbodies of various kinds. Description It is a stocky fish with a large rounded head. Its body is long and cylindrical in shape and is covered in large greenish-brown scales which are edged with narrow bands of black across the back, paling to golden on the flanks and even paler on the belly. The tail is dark brown or black, the dorsal fin is a greyish-green in colour and all the other fins are orange-red. The dorsal fin has 3 spines and 7–9 soft rays while the anal fin has 3 spines and 7–10 rays. The vertebrae count is 42–48. It can grow to 60 cm standard length but most fish are around 30 cm.

Squalius
''Squalius'' is a genus of freshwater ray-finned fish belonging to the family (biology), family Leuciscidae, the daces, Eurasian minnows and reklated fishes. The fishies in this genus are found in Europe and Asia. Hybrid (biology), Hybridization is not rare in the Leuciscidae, including this genus. ''Squalius alburnoides, S. alburnoides'' is known to be of ancient hybrid origin, with the paternal lineage deriving from a prehistoric species related to ''Anaecypris''; the latter mated with ancestral ''Squalius pyrenaicus, S. pyrenaicus''. Present-day ''S. alburnoides'' mates with sympatric Conspecificity, congeners of other species.Collares-Pereira, M.J. & Coelho, M.M. (2010)Reconfirming the hybrid origin and generic status of the Iberian cyprinid complex ''Squalius alburnoides''.''Journal of Fish Biology, 76 (3): 707–715.''

Least Chub
The least chub (''Iotichthys phlegethontis'') is a species of freshwater ray-finned fish belonging to the family Leuciscidae Leuciscidae is a family of freshwater ray-finned fishes, formerly classified as a subfamily of the Cyprinidae, which contains the true minnows. Members of the Old World (OW) clade of minnows within this subfamily are known as European minnow ..., the shiners, daces and minnows. It is the only member of the monospecific genus ''Iotichthys''. This species is found only in Utah and more recently in Idaho in the United States. Due to habitat degradation and introduction of non-native fishes, it is currently limited to a few spring complexes in Utah and the Snake River Valley in Idaho. Species Description The least chub is a small fish, with a maximum size of less than . They have an olive-green black with steel blue upper sides and a golden stripe running from the upper end of the gill opening to the base of the caudal fin. Its lower sides and belly ar ...

Chub Mackerel
The chub mackerel, Pacific mackerel, or Pacific chub mackerel (''Scomber japonicus'') is a species of fish in the tuna and mackerel family, Scombridae. This species of mackerel closely resembles the Atlantic chub mackerel. Characteristics The chub mackerel has a well-developed swim bladder attached with the esophagus, which the "true mackerels" in the genus ''Scomber'' lack, and a characteristic color difference is seen between the chub and the Atlantic chub, the latter being silvery-sided below the midline, whereas the lower part of the sides of the chub (otherwise colored somewhat like the Atlantic) are mottled with small dusky blotches, and the chub has a larger eye than the Atlantic. Less obvious differences are that the dorsal fins are closer together in the chub and only 9 or 10 spines are in its first dorsal fin instead of 11 or more, which is the usual count in the Atlantic mackerel. In most species, the mackerel is known to travel in large schools. It is a smaller fish ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Lake Chub
The lake chub (''Couesius plumbeus'') 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 found in Canada and in parts of the United States. Of all North American minnows, it is the one with the northernmost distribution. Its genus, ''Couesius'' is considered monotypic today. The genus was named after Elliott Coues, who collected the holotype specimen. Description The body is fusiform and somewhat elongate. It is usually long, where the maximum length is approximately . The back is olive-brown or dark brown, and the sides are leaden silver, hence the word ''plumbeus'', referring to lead, in the scientific name of this fish. The snout is blunt and projects slightly beyond the upper lip. The corners of the mouth each bear a small barbel. The scales are small but well visible, and some may be black and form isolated dark spots on the lower sides. The dorsal, pelvic and anal ...

Hornyhead Chub
The hornyhead chub (''Nocomis biguttatus'') is a species of freshwater fish belonging to the family Leuciscidae, the shiners, daces and minnows. It mainly inhabits small rivers and streams of the northern central USA, up into Canada. The adults inhabit faster, rocky pools of rivers. Range The hornyhead chub ranges from Wyoming, North Dakota, and South Dakota, east to the Hudson River drainage and south to Oklahoma. In South Dakota, the hornyhead chub is at the western edge of its range. Hornyhead chubs have been found in several water bodies in the Minnesota River Basin including the north and south forks of the Yellowbank River, Monigan Creek, Cobb Creek, Whetstone Creek, the North Fork of Whetstone Creek and Gary Creek in Roberts, Grant and Deuel Counties, as well as in Big Stone Lake in Grant County. In 1952, hornyhead chubs were documented to occur in the Big Sioux River drainage, but the exact location is unknown. The hornyhead chub has not been documented in the Big Sioux R ...

Gila (fish)
''Gila'' is a genus of fish belonging to the family Leuciscidae, native to the United States and Mexico. Species of ''Gila'' are collectively referred to as western chubs. The species in the genus ''Siphateles'' are close relatives. Several members of the genus are endangered or extinct due to loss of habitat caused by diversion or overuse of water resources, particularly in the western United States. Species ''Gila'' contains the following valid recent species: * ''Gila alutacea'' (Louis Agassiz, Agassiz & Charles Pickering (naturalist), Pickering, 1855) (Chiselmouth) * ''Gila atraria'' (Charles Frédéric Girard, Girard, 1856) (Utah chub) * ''Gila brevicauda'' Steven Mark Norris, S.
