Oxynoemacheilus evreni is a species of freshwater fish in the genus Oxynoemacheilus , belonging to the order Cypriniformes. [3] It is widely distributed and locally abundant within the Ceyhan drainage, where it inhabits streams and rivers with gravel substrate and fast to very fast currents. Although, its population may have experienced a slight decline due to dam construction, the species has shown tolerance to some human-altered habitats. [1]

The fish is named in honor of the son, Evren Erk’akan (b. 1987) of the senior author. [4]
