“…Recent morphological studies (Turan et al, 2006a;Turan et al, 2006b;Turan et al, 2008;Turan et al, 2017;Elp et al, 2018) and molecular studies on the Capoeta genus (Turan, 2008;Bektaş, Çiftçi, Eroğlu, & Beldüz, 2011;Levin et al, 2012: Geiger et al, 2014Alwan, Zareian, & Esmaeili, 2016;Ghanavi, Gonzalez, & Doadrio, 2016;Jouladeh-Roudbar, Eagderi, Ghanavi, & Dadrio 2017;Zareian, Esmaeili, Heidari, Khoshkholgh, & Mousavi-Saber, 2016) to resolve taxonomic uncertainties caused by phenotypic plasticity (Berg, 1949;Banarescu, 1999;Doadrio & Madeira, 2004) have led to an increase in the number of species indicating that the taxonomy of the Capoeta species group has not yet been fully resolved. Recently, Bektaş et al (2017) has been genetically defined Anatolian Capoeta species with a extensive molecular research using cyt b gene sequences. And they suggested that C. kosswigi, C.…”
