In recent years, the Squalius have undergone numerous taxonomic changes and intensive investigations in Turkey. Squalius anatolicus ter chub. It is endemic to Turkey, and has dangered (Froese and Pauly, 2014). In addition, Fricke et al. (2007) categorized it as a critically endangered species. bodies.
