Luciobarbus guiraonis (Valencia barbel; Barbo Mediterraneo)

Synonyms: Barbus guiraonis
Language: Czech; Mandarin Chinese

Wikipedia Abstract

Luciobarbus guiraonis is a ray-finned fish species in the family Cyprinidae. It is here placed in Luciobarbus following the IUCN, but that genus is very closely related to the other typical barbels and perhaps better considered a mere subgenus of Barbus. This large barbel is endemic to Spain, where it is known as barbo mediterraneo. This literally means "Mediterranean Barbel" in English, but that common name is usually applied to the closely related Barbus meridionalis, of whose scientific name it is an equivalent.
