International Standardization of Common Names for Iberian Endemic Freshwater Fishes

Abstract

Iberian endemic freshwater shes do not have standardized common names in English, which is usually a cause of inconveniences for authors when publishing for an international audience. With the aim to tackle this problem, an updated list of Iberian endemic freshwater sh species is presented with a reasoned proposition of a standard international designation along with Spanish and/or Portuguese common names adopted in the National Red Data Books.
