Oxynoemacheilus kiabii
Oxynoemacheilus kiabii is a species of stone loach from the genus Oxynoemacheilus which is endemic to Iran.[2] It is found in the Karkeh River drainage in clear, fast flowing streams. The Karkeh is a tributary of the Karun which in turn flows into the lower Tigris.[1] The specific name kiabii honours the Iranian conservationist Bahram H. Kiabi to show appreciation for his work in conserving Iran's vertebrate fauna, especially the fish.[1]
