چکیده
|
This paper provides information on the geographic distributions of two cyprinid species: hemiculter leuciscu-lus (basilewsky, 1855) and alburnus caeruleus heckel, 1843, in the world and the entire drainage systems in iran. the new distribution records were taken from maroon river (jarrahi river system) and chardaval river (karkheh river system), both in tigris river basin showing wide and narrow distribution ranges of these two cyprinid fishes, respectively. the main introduction sites and distribution range of h. leucisculus is the southern parts of the caspian sea basin in iran from where it has probably been translocated to other iranian basins along with exotic chinese carps. although a. caeruleus is native to tigris river basin, it had been already recorded only from gamasiab and doab rivers in 2009 in karkheh river system (tigris) and thus the present study extends its distribution range. in case of alien species, human-mediated fish introduc-tions may increase faunal similarity among primary drainages due to a strong tendency for taxonomic ho-mogenization caused primarily by the widespread introduction of cyprinid fishes. fish faunal homogeniza-tion might be highest in drainages (e.g. caspian sea and tigris basins) subjected to the greatest degree of disturbance associated with human settlement, infrastructure and change in land use. the provided data might be used in conservation program of freshwater fishes of iran.
