Scardinius are small- to medium-sized fishes that inhabit various habitats, including lakes, reservoirs and slow-flowing rivers. They are typically associated with submerged vegetation. Eight species have been identified, with the genus being most speciose in the Adriatic basin and in Greece, where all but one species occur. However, some European species require critical revision, and fewer species may be recognised in the future. Two species are found in West Asia, with one, S. elmaliensis , being endemic.
