The Habitat, external and cranial morphologies, and karyotype of Turkish specimens of Tatera indica are described for the first time with this study. It was determined that Tatera indica was located in uncultivated arid and semi-arid habitat in southeastern Turkey. Its external and cranial characteristics are consistent with those detailed in published papers. The karyotype of Tatera indica is composed of 2n = 68, NF = 84 and NFa = 80.

Chromosome numbers and karyotypes of Cyprinid fish Capoeta trutta and Capoeta capoeta umbla (Cyprinidae) in the Tigris River were determined by the use of chromosome preparation techniques from uncultured kidney. The diploid chromosome number in C. trutta was found to be 2n = 150, with 35 pairs of meta-submetacentric chromosomes, 40 pairs of subtelo-acrocentric chromosomes and the chromosome arms number (NF) was 220. Chromosomal studies on the C. c. umbla revealed the diploid chromosome number to be 2n = 150, with 43 pairs of meta-submetacentric chromosomes, 32 pairs of subtelo-acrocentric chromosomes with NF = 236. Sex chromosomes were not determined …
