We present a critical checklist of freshwater fish species found so far in the countries of Armenia, Azerbaijan and Georgia. In total 119 freshwater fishes are recorded. There are 40, 86 and 96 species currently known for Armenia, Azerbaijan and Georgia respectively. From these 119 species, seven are endemic and seven species are alien. From the alien species, only three (Carassius gibelio, Gambusia holbrooki and Pseudorasbora parva) can be considered as widespread and invasive. There are four species (Gasterosteus aculeatus, Gobio artvinicus, Perca fluviatilis and Salmo gegarkuni) that are translocated within the region. Seven species are confirmed or recorded for the first time including G. artvinicus and Oxynoemacheilus veyselorum for Armenia, Azerbaijan and Georgia, Capoeta kaput and Rhinogobius lindbergi for Azerbaijan and Georgia, Capoeta razii for Azebaijan, Oxynoemacheilus cemali and Squalius agdamicus for Georgia. In this checklist, Acipenser colchicus is treated as a synonym of Acipenser persicus. Sand smelts of the Black and Caspian Sea basin are identified as Atherina caspia and Clupeonella caspia is treated as a synonym of Clupeonella cultriventris. Coregonus sevanicus is listed as Coregonus sp. until the situation of Sevan whitefish is better understood. Capoeta sevangi and Capoeta ekmekciae are synonyms of Capoeta capoeta. The fish often identified as Capoeta capoeta gracilis from rivers south of the Kura most likely belong to C. razii. The Black and Caspian Sea Rutilus populations are treated as conspecific, therefore R. kutum is a junior synonym of R. frisii. Oxynoemacheilus veyseli is valid as O. veyselorum. We list the alien Rhinogobius species as R. lindbergi, however the name is provisional and needs further confirmation. All Squalius species from the Kura River drainage are identified as S. agdamicus, however in the Aras, it is replaced by S. turcicus. Squalius orientalis is treated as a valid species restricted to the eastern Black Sea basin. The four forms of Lake Sevan trout (Salmo ischchan, S. gegarkuni, S. danilewskii and S. aestivalis) are treated as valid species, two of them (S. ischchan and S. danilewskii) are extinct. Rutilus sojuchbulagi from Azerbaijan is also extinct.

亚美尼亚，阿塞拜疆和格鲁吉亚的淡水鱼类清单

我们提供了迄今为止在亚美尼亚，阿塞拜疆和乔治亚州的国家中发现的淡水鱼类物种的重要清单。总共记录了119条淡水鱼。目前已知分别有亚美尼亚，阿塞拜疆和格鲁吉亚的40、86和96种。在这119种中，有7种是特有的，有7种是外来的。从外来物种，只有三个（彭泽鲫，食蚊鱼holbrooki和麦穗鱼）可以被看作是广泛和侵入。有4种（Gasterosteus aculeatus，Gobio artvinicus，Perca fluviatilis和Salmo gegarkuni）在该区域内转移。首次确认或记录了七个物种，包括亚美尼亚，阿塞拜疆和格鲁吉亚的G. artvinicus和Oxynoemacheilus veyselorum，阿塞拜疆和格鲁吉亚的Capoeta kaput和Rhinogobius lindbergi，阿塞拜疆的Capoeta razii，佐治亚的Oxynoemacheilus cemali和Squalius agdamicus。在此清单中，Acipenser colchicus被视为Acipenser persicus的同义词。布莱克和里海海盆的沙渣被识别为阿瑟里娜·卡皮亚和克卢皮埃拉·卡皮亚被视为枯萎菌的同义词。Coregonus sevanicus被列为Coregonus sp。直到更好地了解Sevan白鱼的情况为止。Capoeta sevangi和Capoeta ekmekciae是Capoeta capoeta的同义词。这种鱼通常被认为是库拉以南的河中的Capoeta capoeta gracilis鱼，很可能属于C. razii。黑和里海鲤种群被视为同种，因此ř。 kutum是R的初级同义词。 frisii。Oxynoemacheilus veyseli是有效Ø。 veyselorum。我们列出外来Rhinogobius物种[R 。 lindbergi，但是这个名称是临时的，需要进一步确认。所有Squalius从库拉河流域的物种被确定为小号。 agdamicus，但是在Aras中，它被S.  turcicus取代。东方角鲨被视为仅限于黑海东部盆地的有效物种。四种形式塞凡湖鳟鱼（鲑ischchan，小号。  gegarkuni，S. danilewskii和小号。 aestivalis）被视为有效的物种，其中两个（小号。  ischchan和小号。  danilewskii）已经灭绝。来自阿塞拜疆的Rutilus sojuchbulagi也已灭绝。
