Karyotypes of some Cypriniform fishes from the water bodies of Armenia

Chromosomal Studies of <i>Luciobarbus kottelati</i> (Teleostei, Cyprinidae)

“…According to the chromosome number (2n=100), L. kottelati is tetraploids as reported for L. pectoralis (Unal and Gaffaroğlu 2016) and for several cyprinine barbines (Rab and Collares-Pereira 1995). Finally, L. kottelati shows similarity to L. mursa (Vasilyan et al 2009), L. capito (Geng et al 2013) and five Iberian Luciobarbus species (Collares-Pereira and Madeira 1990) in diploid chromosome number (2n=100). Also, the majority of Luciobarbus species possess a relatively high number of subtelo-acrocentric chromosomes (Vasilyan et al 2009, Geng et al 2013.…”

“…The longest chromosome pair in the karyotype was subtelo-acrocenric similar to L. pectoralis (Unal and Gaffaroğlu 2016). Morphologically differentiated sex chromosomes were not observed in L. kottelati as were not in L. capito (Kaya 2009), L. mursa (Vasilyan et al 2009), L. escherichii (Gaffaroğlu et al 2013) and L. pectoralis (Unal and Gaffaroğlu 2016).…”
