鲂属鱼类的分类整理

A REVISION OF FISHES OF THE CYPRINID GENUS MEGALOBRAMA

鲂属(Megalobrama)隶属于鲤科(Cyprinidae)的鲌亚科(Cultrinae),是一群较大型的经济鱼类,有的种已作为淡水养殖对象。关于鲂属的分类,虽经一些作者整理,但存在不少问题,因而长期未能使用正确的种名。易伯鲁和吴清江(1964)将鲂属鱼类归纳为3种,但个别种的种名厘订有误。Bǎnǎrescu(1970)将华鳊属(Sinibrama)划归为鲂属下的1个亚属,使鲂属共含5个种和亚种。华鳊属的鳔为2室,与鲂属有显著差别,

The genus Megalobrama belongs to the subfamily Cultrinae of the family Cyprinidae, comprising 4 species, namely: 1. M. terminalis (Richardson), distributed in Zhujiang River and Hainan Island. M. hoffmanni, which Herre and Myers (1931) recorded in the same locality, is a synomym of M. terminalis. 2. M. skolkovii Dybowsky, distributed in the Min Jiang, Chang Jiang, Yellow River, and Amur River, etc.. 3. M. pellegrini (Tchang), its characteris(?)ics differing from those of M. skolkovii, is a valid species distributed in the upper reaches of the Chang Jiang. 4. M. amblycephalus Yih, distributed in lakes around the middle and lower reaches of Chang Jiang.
