Leuciscus vorax (Heckel, 1843)

Distribution in the area. Endemic. Euphrates and Tigris drainages from Anatolia south to the Shatt Al-Arab.

Notes. This species is frequently reported to occur also in the Orontes River. We are not aware of a confirmed record of L. vorax from the Orontes and treat it as endemic to the Euphrates and Tigris.
