This study was carried out between May 2016 and July 2017 to determine the freshwater fish fauna of the Niğde province. As a result of the field studies carried out in the provincial borders of Niğde, 12 species belonging to two orders and five families were identified. These are Capoeta pestai, Capoeta baliki, Capoeta damascina, Cyprinus carpio, G...

Sport fishing is considered to be one of the biggest industries in Minnesota, as well as in the whole America. The Sport Fishing Association (1996) has ranked Minnesota number 4 in terms of freshwater fishing's overall economic impact on America. The association has reported that freshwater fishing in Minnesota has generated $1.9 billion (14% of th...

Climate change is affecting freshwater ecosystems globally, particularly those in semi-arid and arid regions. The Central Anatolian Ecoregion (CAE) in Türkiye has a semi-arid climate and is home to numerous endemic fish species. We used species distribution modelling to elucidate the distribution of sixteen endemic fish species in CAE and predicted their potential distributions for 2041–2060 and 2081–2100 based on the CMIP6 climate model. Half of the species are predicted to experience a significant loss of climatically suitable areas. Anatolichthys fontinalis, Gobio gymnostethus, Gobio hettitorum, and Pseudophoxinus burduricus will face a complete loss of suitable areas by 2081–2100 under a high emissions climate scenario, whereas Cobitis bilseli, Egirdira nigra, Gobio intermedius, and Squalius anatolicus will experience a significant loss. The other eight species can potentially benefit from climate warming if all other stressors remain equal. Anthropogenic stressors, such as water abstraction for irrigation, pollution, invasive species introductions, and dam construction, are already putting endemic fish populations in CAE under extreme pressure. Climate change is expected to exacerbate these threats. Regular monitoring of freshwater ecosystems and fish fauna in the CAE and protecting the region from key anthropogenic stressors are recommended to successfully conserve these endemic freshwater fishes under climate change.
