M.] 1939: 149; Type locality: Aral Sea, lower part of Amu-Daria, and Syr-Daria River, Kazakalpakstan and Uzbekistan . Syntypes : ZMMU P–3364 (2). Common name : Pr: Saba , Mahi sim kondpuzeh, En: White-eye bream. Diagnosis : Naked keel on the belly, deep body, very high number of branched rays in the anal fin, usually 8 branched dorsal fin rays and uniserial pharyngeal teeth. Meristic characters : D: II–III (III) 7–9 (8), A: III 31–44 (34–38), P: 13–16, V: 7–8, GR: 18–25, LL: 47–54, TV: 45–48. Distribution : Caspian Sea basins ( Fig. 238 ). Found in the basins of the Black, Caspian and Aral seas. Reported from Iran by Derzhavin (1934) , Berg (1949) and Holčík and Oláh (1992) but not found in recent years, presumably report of this species from Iran is a mis-identification with Abramis brama . Presence of this species in Iran needs confirmation. Taxonomy : Berg (1949) placed in Abramis but Bogutskaya and Naseka (2004) transferred in Ballerus . Conservation : IUCN: Least Concern ( Freyhof and Kottelat 2008g ).
