On some interesting Romanian gudgeons (Cyprinidae: Romanogobio) found in the collection of Museum and Institute of Zoology PAS
Journal Title: Advances in Environmental Sciences - International Journal of the Bioflux Society - Year 2009, Vol 1, Issue 2
Abstract
Eight gudgeons labelled as belonging to probably extinct cyprinid species, Romanogobio antipai, were found in the collection of Museum and Institute of Zoology of the Polish Academy of Sciences in Warsaw. The fish are from Dâmboviţa and Ialomiţa Rivers, Southern Romania, and were collected by T. Nalbant in 1955 and P. Bănărescu in 1958, respectively. Detailed morphometric and meristic characteristics of these specimens were presented in the current paper. It is concluded that whereas the gudgeons from Dâmboviţa could be classified as Romanogobio cf. antipai, the fish from Ialomiţa River are most probably of other related species, Romanogobio kesslerii.
