The classification of European rivers comes from the fish fauna found in them. Changes in taxonomic composition relate to physical and chemical changes that occur longitudinally.
Barbatula is a genus of fish in the family Nemacheilidae native to Europe and Asia. They are found in streams, rivers and lakes, and the genus also includes Europe's only cavefish, which only was discovered in the Danube–Aachtopf system in Germany in 2015.
Barbatula eregliensis is a species of ray-finned fish in the family Balitoridae. It is found only in Turkey. Its natural habitats are swamps and freshwater lakes. It is threatened by habitat loss.
Barbatula namiri is a species of ray-finned fish in the family Balitoridae. It is found in Lebanon, Syria, and Turkey. Its natural habitat is rivers. It is found in the Orontes River watershed and coastal rivers of Lebanon and Syria north of southern Nahr al-Kabir al-Janoubi. It is threatened by habitat loss by water extraction and dams and pollution in Turkey; threats in Lebanon and Syria are unknown. The population is unknown but is considered stable in Turkey.
Barbatula samantica is a species of ray-finned fish in the family Balitoridae. It is found only in Turkey. Its natural habitat is rivers. It is threatened by habitat loss.
The stone loach is a European species of fresh water ray-finned fish in the family Nemacheilidae. It is one of nineteen species in the genus Barbatula. Stone loaches live amongst the gravel and stones of fast flowing water where they can search for food. The most distinctive feature of this small fish is the presence of barbels around the bottom jaw, which they use to detect their invertebrate prey. The body is a mixture of brown, green and yellow.
Barbatula altayensis is one of seventeen species of ray-finned fish in the genus Barbatula. It is found in Mongolia and Xinjiang Province in China.
Oxynoemacheilus araxensis is a species of ray-finned fish in the genus Oxynoemacheilus. It was described from specimens taken at a single locality near Kandili, the type locality, the upper drainage of the Euphrates in eastern Turkey. It has never been recorded anywhere else although there are many populations of superficially similar loaches in the Euphrates drainage which have not yet been identified; these may prove to be of this species or of Oxynoemacheilus kaynaki. Its habitat appears to be moderately fast flowing streams with a gravel bottom.
Oxynoemacheilus cinicus is a species of Cypriniformes fish in the genus Oxynoemacheilus. It is little known and is most likely from western Anatolia and the Büyük Menderes River.
Barbatula dgebuadzei is one of seventeen species of ray-finned fish in the genus Barbatula.
Oxynoemacheilus germencicus, the Carian loach, is a species of Cypriniformes fish in the genus Oxynoemacheilus. It is known only from the Büyük Menderes River and lower Gediz River in western Anatolia, it probably also occurred in the Kücük Menderes, a river which sits between the Büyük Menderes and Gediz, and has been extirpated from that river by pollution and abstraction. It remains widespread and locally abundant in the other two rivers but the populations have declined and the species is threatened by climate change reducing rainfall in the area and human activities such as damming and water abstraction as well as pollution>
Barbatula nuda is a species of ray-finned fish in the genus Barbatula.
Oxynoemacheilus persa is a species of ray-finned fish in the genus Oxynoemacheilus. The species is found in Urmia Lake and the Polvar and Kor rivers in western Iran.
