Introduction
Hemigrammocapoeta Pellegrin, 1927 is a genus differentiated by the shape of its mouth and incomplete lateral
line. Pellegrin (1928) obtained samples of the type species Hemigrammocapoeta culiciphaga from Dr. E. Tok
(Adana) and was able to discriminate two species in the genus using the presence or absence of barbels and the
number of lateral line scales. H. culiciphaga has a pair barbels at the corner of the mouth and 29-32 scales at the
lateral series while H. kemali (Hanko, 1925) has no barbels and 37-40 scales in the lateral series. Kosswig (1950)
considered Neotylognathus a new subgenus of Tylognathus Heckel, 1843 from Asia Minor, and reported that H.
caudomaculata (Battalgil, 1942) (Lake Amik near Hatay and Ceyhan River), Tylognathus klatti Kosswig, 1950
(Lake Eğirdir and Lake Gölcük near Isparta and Lake Işıklı) and H. kemali (only Akgöl near Ereğli) belong to the
new subgenus (Kosswig, 1950: 407-412). Later, Karaman (1971) considered Neotylognathus a subgenus of
Hemigrammocapoeta (1971: 236-239) and included H. nasus culiciphaga (Adana, Lake Amik and Ceyhan River),
H. (Neotylognathus) kemali (Akgöl, Ereğli) and H. (Neotylognathus) klatti (Lakes Eğirdir, Lake Beyşehir and
possibly Lake Gölcük near Isparta).
Records by some authors indicate discrepancies about the distribution of these species. According to Bostancı
(2006) and Van Neer et al. (2008) for instance, H. culiciphaga is distributed in Seyhan, Ceyhan and Asi rivers. On
the other hand, Erk’akan and Özdemir (2011) mentioned the presence of H. caudomaculata in parts of Seyhan and
Ceyhan drainage systems. Lakes Eğirdir and Gölcük populations of H. kemali, referred to in some recent sources as
Crossocheilus klatti (Fricke et al. 2007), went extinct from these lakes due to the introduced piscivore Sander
lucioperca (Küçük et al. 2009).
We compared our materials from the Büyük Menderes basin (source of Lake Işıklı) with Hemigrammocapoeta
kemali from Ereğli (type locality of H. kemali), Seydişehir, Beyşehir, and Köprüçay rivers, and H. culiciphaga
... Four species of Garra lacking a mental disc are known from Anatolia . These are: G. kemali from Central Anatolia, G. caudomaculatus from the Orontes River drainage in Turkey and Syria, G. culiciphaga from the Seyhan and Ceyhan River drainages in Turkey (Hankó, 1925;Pellegrin, 1928;Battalgil, 1942;Kosswig, 1950) and G. menderesensis from Lake Isıklı in the Büyük Menderes drainage in Turkey (Küçük et al., 2015). Küçük et al.

The first record of Garra kemali (Teleostei: Cyprinidae) from the Black Sea basin with a re-description of the species
Article
Garra kemali is reported for the first time from the Black Sea Basin (Hirfanlı reservoir at the Kızılırmak River). The Hirfanlı population is distinguished from the Eregli population, from where G. kemali was described, by seventeen nucleotide substitutions in the partial mitochondrial cytochrome b gene (1041 bp). Due to the limited knowledge about the genetic variability in G. kemali, which is widespread in Central Anatolia, and the poorly studied fish fauna of the Kızılırmak River drainage, it cannot be decided, if the Hirfanlı population is native or translocated.

  • Apr 2021
Northeast Anatolia is rich in a variety of ecosystems, habitats, and unique vascular plant diversity. A remarkable number of vascular plants have been used for several purposes such as food, medicine, etc. by the local people. This region is characterized by dune, riparian, wetland, pseudomacchie, forest (both deciduous and conifer) and subalpine-alpine vegetation types of which the last one is the richest zone in terms of both plant diversity and medicinal plants. This chapter provides scientific information about both native and non-native vascular medicinal plants and their uses, parts used and local names depending on literature and field observations available in this region of Turkey. A total of 510 medicinal vascular plants including 10 endemics are distributed in this region investigated by us

... Are they the same in all species that 'lost' the disc or are the resulting morphologies different in the different clades? Küçük et al. (2015) On the other hand, the mouth of H. culiciphaga (type species of the genus) differs from that of all other examined Garra sensu lato in having a structure that appears as a narrowly interrupted 'lower lip' (Fig. 26). However, from the specimens I could examine, it is not possible to conclude whether this structure is really a lip (in which case the free anterior edge of the labial fold would be restricted to the triangular tissues between the lips) or a highly modified labial fold (torus). ...
Ceratogarra, a genus name for Garra cambodgiensis and G. fasciacauda and comments on the oral and gular soft anatomy in labeonine fishes (Teleostei: Cyprinidae)
Article
Full-text available
Ceratogarra is established as genus name for Garra cambodgiensis and G. fasciacauda. Besides molecular characters, Ceratogarra shares with Paracrossochilus the presence of a large tubercle on each side of the tip of the snout, the colour pattern made of a bold black midlateral stripe and a red to black marginal or submarginal stripe along the upper and lower margins of the caudal fin. It is distinguished from Paracrossochilus by the presence of a gular disc. The oral and gular morphology of Paracrossochilus is described. The difference between lower lip and labial fold is discussed. The terminology used to describe the gular disc is reviewed and a new terminology is proposed. Conclusions of recent works on garra lineages are discussed, among others the homology of soft oral and gular structures and the reduction and absence (vs. loss) of the gular disc. While the absence or small size of the disc might result from loss or reduction in some species or lineages, there is no reason to accept a hypothesis that the presence of a structure as complex as the gular disc would be the plesiomorphic condition for the whole clade 'Labeonini minus Labeonina', followed by loss of the disc and followed by the evolution of new, different, very complex structures. It is at least equally parsimonious (and more logical) to hypothesise a simple structure as plesiomorphic, followed by the evolution (including parallel) of various complex modifications of the gular tissues, including discs (which develop in different ways). The putative homology between the disc of garras in separate lineages should be critically reexamined and genera within Garrina should be diagnosed by other characters than simply by a trivial statement of the presence or absence of the disc. The gross oversimplification (or misrepresentation) of 'morphology', and even its terminology, is a serious problem in many molecular phylo-genetic studies.

Review of the ichthyofaunal changes in Lake Eǧirdir between 1915 and 2007
Article
Full-text available
  • Jan 2009
The ichthyofaunal changes in Lake Eǧirdir between 1915 and 2007 were reviewed. It was understood that the most drastic change in the ichthyofauna of Lake Eǧirdir occurred in 1955 with the introduction of pike-perch (Sander lucioperca), and that the process of change continued with the addition of Prussian carp (Carassius gibelio) in 1996 and big scale sand smelt (Atherina boyeri) in 2003. Today, there are 15 fish taxa (10 native, 5 non-native) in Lake Eǧirdir. It was determined that, among the endemic species of Lake Eǧirdir, Handlirsch's minnow (Pseudophoxinus handlirschi) is extinct (EX), Ereǧli minnow (Hemigrammocapoeta kemali) disappeared, and Eǧirdir minnow (Pseudophoxinus egridiri) and Eǧirdir barb (Capoeta pestai) are critically endangered (CR).
