Eğirdir minnow
Template:Short description Template:Speciesbox The Eğirdir minnow or Handlirsch's minnow (Pseudophoxinus handlirschi) (in Turkish ciçek), is a species of freshwater ray-finned fish belonging to the family Leuciscidae, which includes the daces, Eurasian minnows and related species.[1] It was endemic to Lake Eğirdir in Turkey, but is now considered extinct. It was earlier critically endangered due to predation by pike perch which had been introduced to the lake, but has not been found since 1980s and was therefore evaluated by IUCN as extinct in 2013.[2]
Etymology
The fish is named in honor of Austrian entomologist Anton Handlirsch (1865–1935), who was Pietschmann’s colleague at the Naturhistorisches Museum in Vienna.[3]
