Early development of the cephalic skeleton of Barbus barbus (Teleostei, Cyprinidae)

A further note on the identity of Barbus mussullah Sykes (Teleostei: Cyprinidae)  .

Knight et al. (2013a) clarified the identity of Barbus mussullah Sykes, the type species of Hypselobarbus Bleeker, showing it to represent a lineage clearly distinct from Tor Gray (type species Tor hamiltonii Gray (= Cyprinus tor Hamilton)). They showed the two species to be distinguished by a suite of characters, with Hypselobarbus lacking the distinctive median fleshy lobe of the lower lip (p...

Enteroendocrine APUD cells in the digestive tract of larval Barbus conchonius (Teleostei, Cyprinidae).

The development of Barbus conchonius is described with special attention to the differentiation of the gut. Amine precursor uptake and decarboxylation (APUD) are present in enteroendocrine cells during development, whereas these processes are lacking in adult specimens. The first APUD cells originate on the fourth day of development in the anterior part of the gut and on the fifth day in the ca...

Phylogeography of the barbel (Barbus barbus, Linnaeus 1758) in the area of Lake Constance

Biometry of the fishes Barbus plebejus and Barbus capito from Coruh Basin, Turkey.

Metric and meristic characters are important to identify fish species and their habitat peculiarities. There are many species that belong to the fish genus Barbus, which is found in tropical and extratropical regions, but there are few studies covering the Coruh basin. Two subspecies of Barbus were found in the Coruh River system of Eastern Anatolia, Turkey: Barbus plebejus escherichi and Barbu...
