سمكة األخوار العربية By: Prof. Dr. Sc. Norman Ali Bassam Ali Taher KhalafSakerfalke von Jaffa
The Arabian Killifish (Aphanius dispar Rüppel, 1829) is found along the entire coastline of the Arabian Peninsula and the Eastern Mediterranean in a wide variety of habitats both man-made and Natural. It is highly adaptable and tolerant of a wide range of salinities from pure freshwater to hypersaline conditions and is capable of withstanding temperatures in excess of 40 Centigrade. Killifish form large shoals and breed throughout the year with a probable peak in the months of April to June ...
