Carasobarbus
''Carasobarbus'', the himris, is a small genus of ray-finned fishes in the family Cyprinidae. Its species are found in rivers, streams, lakes and ponds in Western Asia and Northwest Africa. ''C. canis'' can reach in total length, but most other species are up to around half or one-quarter of that size. Like many other "barbs", it was long included in ''Barbus''. It appears to be a fairly close relative of the typical barbels and relatives – the genus ''Barbus'' proper –, but closer still to the large hexaploid species nowadays separated in ''Labeobarbus''. Because of the improved phylogenetic knowledge which indicates ''Barbus'' was highly paraphyletic in its wide circumscription –, ''Carasobarbus'' and some other closely related "barbs" (e.g. '' "Barbus" reinii'') may be included in ''Labeobarbus'' to avoid a profusion of very small genera.de Graaf ''et al.''

Labeobarbus
''Labeobarbus'' is a mid-sized ray-finned fish genus in the family Cyprinidae. Its species are widely distributed throughout eastern Africa and especially southern Africa, but also in Lake Tana in Ethiopia. A common name, in particular for the southern species, is yellowfish. The scientific name refers to the fact that these large barbs remind of the fairly closely related " carps" in the genus ''Labeo'' in size and shape. As far as can be told, all ''Labeobarbus'' species are hexaploid.de Graaf ''et al.'' (2007), IUCN (2009) Systematics Like many other "barbs", it was long included in ''Barbus''. It appears to be a fairly close relative of the typical barbels and relatives – the genus ''Barbus'' proper –, but closer still to the large Near Eastern species nowadays separated in ''Carasobarbus''.

Barbus
''Barbus'' is a genus of ray-finned fish in the family Cyprinidae. The type species of ''Barbus'' is the common barbel, first described as ''Cyprinus barbus'' and now named ''Barbus barbus''. ''Barbus'' is the namesake genus of the subfamily Barbinae, but given their relationships, that taxon is better included in the Cyprininae at least for the largest part (including the type species of ''Barbus''). Description and uses Their common names – barbs and barbels – refer to the fact that most members of the genera have a pair of barbels on their mouths, which they can use to search for food at the bottom of the water. Barbels are often fished for food; in some locations they are of commercial significance. The roe of barbels is poisonous, however. The large ''Barbus'' barbs are also often eaten in their native range. At Shanhûr in Egypt, remains of a jar from the sixth- to seventh-century AD were unearthed that contained fish bones. The fish were apparently pick ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Cyprinidae
Cyprinidae is a family of freshwater fish commonly called the carp or minnow family. It includes the carps, the true minnows, and relatives like the barbs and barbels. Cyprinidae is the largest and most diverse fish family and the largest vertebrate animal family in general with about 3,000 species, of which only 1,270 remain extant, divided into about 370 genera. Cyprinids range from about 12 mm in size to the giant barb (''Catlocarpio siamensis''). By genus and species count, the family makes up more than two-thirds of the ostariophysian order Cypriniformes. The family name is derived from the Greek word ( 'carp'). Biology and ecology Cyprinids are stomachless fish with toothless jaws. Even so, food can be effectively chewed by the gill rakers of the specialized last gill bow. These pharyngeal teeth allow the fish to make chewing motions against a chewing plate formed by a bony process of the skull. The pharyngeal teeth are unique to each species and are used by scient ...

Barb (fish)
A barb is one of various ray-finned fish species in a non-phylogenetic group, with members in the family Cyprinidae, and especially the genera ''Barbus'' and '' Puntius'', but many others also. They were formerly united with the barbels in the subfamily Barbinae but that group is paraphyletic with the Cyprininae. If the Labeoninae are recognized as distinct, many small African "barbs" would probably, however, warrant recognition as a new subfamily. The root of the word "barb" is common in cyprinid names of European languages, from the Latin ''barba'' ("beard") (COD): * ''barb'' from Catalan * ''barbi'' from Finnish * ''barbo'' from Spanish * ''barbeau'' from French * ''barbo'' from Italian and many others. This is in reference to the barbels which are prominently seen around the mouth of many "barbs". Genera Genera that contain species with common names including "barb": * '' Barbichthys'' * ''Barbodes'' * ''Barboides'' * ''Barbonymus'' – tinfoil barbs * '' Barbopsis ...
