Labeobarbus maroccanus, commonly known as the Atlas scraper, [1] is a species of medium to large cyprinid fish. It is found only in Morocco. [2]
It is sometimes placed in the monospecific genus Pterocapoeta (as P. maroccana). [3] [4] It is endemic to Morocco, and can be found in the Eastern part of the country from Oued Moulouya, and possibly as far west as Agadir. It is the only extant species of Labeobarbus found north of the Sahara following the extinction of L. reinii, all other species are only found in the afro tropical regions.[ citation needed ]
Coregonus albula, known as the vendace or as the European cisco, is a species of freshwater whitefish in the family Salmonidae. It is found in lakes in northern Europe, especially Finland, Latvia, Lithuania, Sweden, Russia and Estonia, and in some lakes of Norway, the United Kingdom, northern Germany, and Poland. It is also found in diluted brackish water in the Gulfs of Finland and Bothnia, both of which are in the Baltic Sea.
The Algerian barb or Tunisian barb, is a ray-finned fish species in the family Cyprinidae. It is found in Algeria and Tunisia.
Barbus figuigensis is a doubtfully distinct ray-finned fish species in the family Cyprinidae.
Carasobarbus harterti, the stripeless himri, is a ray-finned fish species in the family Cyprinidae. It is found only in Morocco.
Labeobarbus intermedius is an East African ray-finned fish species in the family Cyprinidae. Like the closely related yellowfish, it is hexaploid. A large species, the maximum recorded standard length is nearly 50 cm (20 in). This species has a subspecies named Labeobarbus intermedius intermedius.
Labeobarbus johnstonii is a species of cyprinid fish. It has long been placed in Barbus, the "wastebin genus" for barbs, by default, and this is still being done by the IUCN. However, the species is increasingly being restored to related yellowfish genus Labeobarbus which seems a much more appropriate placement. It is presumably hexaploid like the other yellowfish. The supposed subspecies latirostris of its relative L. intermedius is actually misidentified L. johnstonii.
Barbus labiosa is a doubtfully distinct ray-finned fish species in the family Cyprinidae.
Luciobarbus lepineyi, the Draa barbel, is a doubtfully distinct ray-finned fish species in the family Cyprinidae.
Luciobarbus magniatlantis, the Tensift riffle barbel, is a species in the family Cyprinidae. It is native to the Tensift River catchment of the Atlas Mountains of Morocco. However, it has been extirpated from the Rheraya River in the middle of its range, which has led to two isolated sub-populations.
Luciobarbus pallaryi, the Zousfana barb, is a ray-finned fish species in the family Cyprinidae. It is found in Algeria and Morocco.
The giant Atlas barbel was a ray-finned fish species in the family Cyprinidae. It is now thought to be extinct.
Labeobarbus somereni, or Someren's barb, is a species of ray-finned fish in the family Cyprinidae. It is found in Burundi, Rwanda, Tanzania, and Uganda. Its natural habitat is rivers. It is not considered a threatened species by the IUCN. Local names for the fish in Rwanda include ikinanga, inkwenwe, ifurwe (Satinsyi) and urwozi (Nyabarongo).
Cobitis maroccana is a species of ray-finned fish in the family Cobitidae.
The footless killifish is a monotypic species of killifish in the family Aphaniidae. This species is endemic to springs and streams in the Atlas Mountains of Algeria, between Batna and Constantine. T. apoda was described in 1853 by Paul Gervais with the type locality given as the Springs of Tell, south of Constantine.
The humpback whitefish, also referred to as the bottom whitefish, the Arctic whitefish or the pidschian, is a species of freshwater whitefish with a northern distribution. It is one of the members in the broader common whitefish complex, or the Coregonus clupeaformis complex. This fish lives in estuaries and brackish water near river mouths, in deltas and in slowly running rivers, in large lakes with tributaries, and floodplain lakes. It can migrate long distances upriver for spawning.
The Permanent Maghreb of World Wide Fund for Nature is a freshwater ecoregion of North Africa.
The scaly yellowfish, or KwaZulu-Natal yellowfish, is a species of freshwater fish in the family Cyprinidae.
Labeobarbus mirabilis is a species of ray-finned fish in the genus Labeobarbus. Its type locality is the Ituri River, near Mawambi, Ituri Province, Democratic Republic of the Congo. It has not been found in other locations. This species was initially placed in the genus Barbus, but is now considered to be a member of Labeobarbus. Some experts have raised the possibility that, with more research, L. mirabilis might become classified as a junior synonym of L. somereni.
Coregonus maraena, referred to in English as the maraene, maraena whitefish, vendace, cisco, lake herring, lake whitefish or the whitefish, is a whitefish of the family Salmonidae that occurs in the Baltic Sea basin - in the sea itself and the inflowing rivers, and in several lakes as landlocked populations. It is found in Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Germany, Latvia, Lithuania, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Slovakia, Russia and Sweden. As of 2013, it has been listed as a vulnerable species by the IUCN and as endangered by HELCOM. It is an extremely important fish within the Baltic Sea ecosystem, both for population equilibrium and for the local diets of the surrounding human population. Due to a variety of factors, mostly overfishing, the maraena's population dwindled to near-extinction levels. Thus, rampant repopulation was enacted to preserve this important fish.
Salariopsis atlantica is a species of combtooth blenny from the subfamily Salarinae, the largest of the two subfamilies in the Family Blenniidae. It is a freshwater species which is restricted to Ouerrha River which is part of the Sebou River basin, in Morocco. It is found in shallow, flowing streams with a stony substrate.
