Chondrostoma smyrnae, a new nase from the Tahtal? reservoir drainage in the Aegean Sea basin (Teleostei, Leuciscidae)

Chondrostoma smyrnae , a new species, from the Tahtal? reservoir drainage is distinguished by having slightly arched lower jaw with well-developed keratinised edge, deep and cylindric body, complete lateral line 47–52+1 total scales, 8–9 scale rows between dorsal-fin origin, 4 pelvic fin-origin, 19–23 gill rakers on first arch. Moreover, molecular analyses using full cyt b (1141 bp) partial coI (652 sequences of mitochondrial genome specimens C. belonging to other species central western Anatolia demonstrated that easily differentiated their high pairwise genetic distances data set (>2.20 1.03%, respectively) position in phylogenetic trees obtained through Maximum Likelihood (ML) methodology.
