TL;DR
This study identifies three new species of Carasobarbus fish in the Persian Gulf basin using genetic and morphological analysis.
Contribution
The discovery and description of three new Carasobarbus species based on genetic and morphological data.
Findings
Three new Carasobarbus species were identified in the Persian Gulf basin.
Genetic distances among the species ranged from 1.6 to 9.9% in mitochondrial genes.
Morphological traits like scale counts and body proportions distinguish the new species.
Abstract
Fishes from the genus Carasobarbus, widely distributed throughout the river systems of North Africa and West Asia, are commonly referred to as Himris. In the Persian Gulf basin, they are widespread and are also found in fast-flowing rivers or the deeper regions of lakes. In this region, representation of these fishes in scientific collections is scarce, and except for C. luteus, the other species are very poorly documented and frequently misidentified due to their similarities. In this study we analysed the relationships among Carasobarbus species using mitochondrial genes (Cyt b, COI) and present morphological characters based on examinations. Our results revealed three new species which we describe here. Carasobarbus doadrioi, new species, is distinguished by 40–44 scales on the lateral line and a prominent black blotch on end of caudal peduncle in specimens < 85 mm SL. Carasobarbus…
