Coptodon zillii ( Gervais, 1848) View in CoL [I] ― Redbelly tilapia/ Tilapya-Israil çipurası-Tatlı su çipurası
Taxonomy. Original description: Acerina zillii Gervais, 1848: 203 [Artesian well, Tuggurth, Algeria; syntypes: MNHN (lost)]. ― Synonyms: Tilapia zillii ( Gervais, 1848) . ― Revisions: Dunz and Schliewen (2013: 73). ― Illustration: Krupp and Schneider (1989: 400, fig. 52).
Status in Türkiye. Listed in previous checklists from Türkiye by Kuru (2004) as Tilapia zillii ; Geldiay and Balık (2007) as Tilapia zillii ; Fricke et al. (2007); Kuru et al. (2014); Çiçek et al. (2015, 2020, 2021, 2022a). ― Turkish material: None.
Distribution and habitat. Distribution in Türkiye: Mediterranean coastal plain. ― Distribution in river basins: 8-Batı Akdeniz, 9- Antalya, 10- Burdur, 17-Doğu Akdeniz, 18-Seyhan, 19-Asi, 20-Ceyhan. ― General distribution: North Africa: Morocco east to Egypt, south to Nigeria and Central African Republic; Middle East: Syria south to Israel and Jordan. Introduced elsewhere. ― Distribution in ecoregions: 432-Southern Anatolia, 437-Orontes. ― Habitat: This species inhabits a very wide range of habitats with flowing water, from fast-flowing headwaters and reservoirs to polluted canals and large lowland rivers. It is the most environmentally tolerant of all tilapia species, tolerating lack of oxygen, pollution, salinity, etc. Low water temperatures (below 10–13 °C) limit its occurrence. Freshwater, brackish.
Economic importance. Locally commercially important.
Reasons of introduction. Aquaculture/research.
Conservation. Not relevant (introduced species).
