Abstract

Luciobarbus barbulus Heckel, 1847 was described from water bodies around Shiraz and the Qara Aqaj River, one of the main rivers in Shiraz City, Iran. In the present study localities, a geographical range map of Luciobarbus barbulus and new data on the present status of this species are presented. In our latest sampling we assessed for the first time the presence of this species in the Lesser Zab River where no specimen had been collected in the past on this part of the river. The detailed distribution of Luciobarbus barbulus, based on the captured specimens, and literature records of this species are mentioned.
