Oxynoemacheilus evreni is a species of freshwater fish in the genus Oxynoemacheilus, belonging to the order Cypriniformes.[3] It is widely distributed and locally abundant within the Ceyhan drainage, where it inhabits streams and rivers with gravel substrate and fast to very fast currents. Although, its population may have experienced a slight decline due to dam construction, the species has shown tolerance to some human-altered habitats.[1]
The fish is named in honor of the son, Evren Erk’akan (b. 1987) of the senior author.[4]
