Abstract
Registro de la presencia del sabalote Chanos chanos (Forsskål,
1775) (Gonorynchiformes: Chanidae) en el río Shatt al-Arab/
Arvand, Basora y las aguas marinas de Irak, con notas sobre su
tolerancia al agua dulce
En este estudio, se describen dos especímenes de sabalote
Chanos chanos (LT 380 y 390 mm) en aguas marinas de Irak y
otros cuatro del río Shatt al-Arab/Arvand en la ciudad de Abu alKhaseeb, al sur de Irak (LT 310-312,5 mm). Ambas localidades significan una extensión del rango de distribución para el sabalote y
la de Abu al-Khaseeb representa la distancia máxima para que
esta especie ascienda por el río. Se proporcionan y comparan
datos morfométricos y merísticos con especímenes de otras partes
del mundo. Se incide sobre la tolerancia en hábitats dulceacuícolas a 65 km del mar.
Abstract: In the present study, two specimens of the milkfish Chanos chanos (380 and 390 mm TL) are described from the marine waters of Iraq and another four specimens from the Shatt al-Arab River at Abu alKhaseeb City, south of Iraq (310-312.5 mm TL). Both localities represent a new range extension for the milkfish, but those from Shatt al-Arab River represent the maximum distance for this species to ascend. Morphometric and meristic data are provided and compared with other specimens of this species from other parts of the world. A note is given about the tolerance to freshwater habitats about 65 km away from the sea.
