status

 

Paraphanius mento ( Heckel, 1843)

Distribution in the area. Not endemic. Middle to lower Tigris and Shatt Al-Arab.

Taxonomic notes. This species has been described from Mosul, but has not been found again in that area, which has not been studied for fish in the last decades. Populations from the marshes in Iraq and Iran are expected to be conspecific as well as these in the upper Habur River, a tributary to the Euphrates in Syria ( Krupp and Schneider 2008).
