SURVEY AND ICHTHYOFAUNA OF GREAT ZAB RIVER IN DERALOK HYDROPOWER PLANT
Keywords:
Fish population, Great Zab River, Deralok Hydropower plant, Dêrelûk
Abstract
The objective of the study is to upgrade the knowledge of fish comportments in the special sector of Great Zab river where has to be construct the Weir for Deralok Hydropower Plant; in way of collected all information related to the actual life of fish and to find out the fishes that are naturally found in Deralok during the period from December 2013 to February 2015 in the sector to be affected by the weir for adding extra information about fishes' habits and immigration of fishes. A total of 82 freshwater fishes from Deralok during the survey period, belong to 11 species, namely: Garra rufa (Heckel 1843) Doctor Fish, Chondrostoma regium (Heckel,1843); Baloot muluki, Luciobarbus xanthopterus (Heckel,1843); Gattan, Barbus belayewi (Menon,1960); Toueni, Birtein, Barbus barbulus (Heckel,1846); Abu Baratum, Cypinion kais (Heckel,1846); Buunii Saghir, Capoeta trutta (Heckel,1843); Touyeni, Barbus grypus (Heckel,1843); Shabout, Mastacembelus mastacembelus (Banks and Solander in Russell,1794); (Marmaritch); Crucian carp (Carassius carassius); (Shokhatt), and Liza abu: (Beyah).
