Interesting Facts
- Fifty years ago, Acanthobrama telavivensis was very abundant in the coastal rivers of Israel. There was a sharp decline between 1950 and 1970. Then the population was stable until 1999. In 1999, drought resulted in the riverine habitat disappearing and the population declined almost to extinction . The last remaining individuals were taken from the remnants of its habitat and bred in captivity in an attempt to save the species. Two subpopulations now have been reintroduced back into the wild from this captive stock. One subpopulation has not reproduced and the status of the other subpopulation is not known. Until it can be confirmed that the species is breeding successfully in the wild, the species is listed as Extinct in the Wild. (Ref 100465)

Description
Family Cyprinidae
Distribution: North America (northern Canada to southern Mexico), Africa, and Eurasia . Pharynx with 1-3 rows of teeth, each row with a maximum of 8 teeth. Usually thin lips , plicae or papillae absent; mouth sometimes suckerlike (Garra and Labeo). With or without barbels . Premaxilla usually borders the upper jaw making the maxilla entirely or almost entirely excluded from the gape. Usually protrusible upper jaw. Dorsal fin with spinelike rays in some. Primitive number of chromosomes 2n=50, some with 48; polyploidy exists. Maximum length at least 2.5 m to probably 3 m in Catlocarpio siamensis; many species less than 5 cm. Mainly non-guarders, but in some species males build nests and/or protect the eggs .The family Cyprinidae belongs to the Class Actinopterygii (ray-finned fishes ) and the Order Cypriniformes. It contains 210 genera and 2010 species. It may be found in Brackish , and Freshwater environments and is primarily Primary freshwater. Many members of this family are used in the aquarium trade. Reproductively, most members of this family are nonguarders. The main mode of swimming of adult fish in this family is subcarangiform. Compared with other fish, the activity level of this family tends to be normal. Members of this family have been dated back to the Eocene epoch of the Tertiary period. This family may be found from 70° n to 34° s and 150° w to 170° e. Etymology of this family name : Greek, kyprinos = goldfish .
Habitat
Found in ponds and slow-moving rivers in very dense populations.
Biome: Fresh water . Benthopelagic.
