Carassius carassius ( Linnaeus, 1758) View in CoL [I] ― Crucian carp/Kahverengi havuz balığı
Taxonomy. Original description: Cyprinus carassius Linnaeus, 1758: 321 [European ponds; no types known]. ― Synonyms: None. ― Revisions: None. ― Illustration: None.
Status in Türkiye. Listed in previous checklists from Türkiye by Kuru (2004); Geldiay and Balık (2007); Fricke et al. (2007); Kuru et al. (2014); Çiçek et al. (2015, 2020, 2022a). ― Turkish materials: None.
Distribution and habitat. Distribution in Türkiye: Trace region. ― Distribution in river basins: 1-Meriç-Ergene, 2-Marmara. ― General distribution: Europe; widely introduced elsewhere. ― Distribution in ecoregions: 418-Dniester - Lower Danube, 423-Thrace. ― Habitat: This species inhabits rivers, lakes, reservoirs, ponds, and ditches with stagnant or slow-flowing water. It occurs in eutrophic fresh and brackish waters, well-vegetated ponds, and canals. Freshwater, brackish.
Economic importance. Locally commercially important.
Reasons of introduction. Unknown: Inadvertently introduced by transboundary waterways for no known reason or method.
Conservation. Not relevant (introduced species).
Remarks. Carassius gibelio was previously misidentified in Türkiye as C. carassius . Therefore, distribution records in the previous studies in Anatolia are wrong. It is probable that this species will be found in Türkiye; an introduction from Trace region in Bulgaria and/or Greece may be expected.
