Distribution and threats

The Jordan bream is found in the Jordan River drainage basin and the on the coastal plain of Palestine in the Nahr al-Muqatta (Qishon River).[2] It has been introduced into the Azraq Wetland Reserve.

It is widely distributed and locally abundant, particularly in lakes such as Lake Kinneret, but there have been significant declines in riverine parts of its range. It is threatened by habitat loss as water extraction is impacting the lakes and rivers in this region. Pollution in the waters is also a threat in certain localities. Nevertheless, it is able to inhabit reservoirs and other artificial water bodies which compensates for the losses in rivers and streams.

gollark: When you say "deprecated" you're not using the old-CC-wiki definition of it as "removed", right?
gollark: It seems more like a bug of some kind, if it removed krists from your account despite the name being invalid.
gollark: Basically, even ignoring security issues, it would probably have more overhead than just running the chunks on the server would, and introduce an exciting new set of problems.
gollark: Also, you would run into issues like having to synchronize state with the server still, random connection outages/failures of your computer, interaction across chunk borders being run on different computers being *interesting*, possibly claims...
