Rutilus stoumboudae is a species of freshwater fish in the family Cyprinidae. It is found only in Greece, in Lake Volvi and is a lacustrine species adapted to still water.[1] It is named for Maria Stoumboudi, in honour of her research on the ecology and conservation of the freshwater fishes of Greece.[2]
Description
Rutilus stoumboudae grows to a maximum size of 15.6 cm (6.1 in), and can distinguished from its congener R. rutilus by having 16-17 total gill rakers (vs. 13–14) and an average of 9 branched rays (vs. 10 in R. rutilus) in both the dorsal and anal fins, from a total of 11-12 and 12 soft rays, respectively. It can be diagnosed from R. pigus by the absence of nuptial tubercles, and having 39-43 scales on the lateral line (vs. 46–51) and 8-9 branched rays in the anal fin (vs. 9–11)[1]
Taxonomy and systematics
Rutilus stoumboudae was described as a distinct species in 2014.[3]
In a 2017 phylogeographic study, it was argued that the Ponto-Caspian taxa including R. caspicus, R. heckelii and R. stoumboudae could represent a single widespread species whose range would extend to Siberia, to be named R. lacustris.[4]
