Ionian toothcarp

The Ionian toothcarp, also known as the Corfu toothcarp, is a species of fish in the Valenciidae family. Answered in Albania and Greece. Its natural habitats are rivers, freshwater marshes, freshwater springs and coastal salt lagoons. Threatened by habitat loss. The specific name of this fish was given to honor the botanist Aristide-Horace Letourneux (1820-1890). The species was described as Fundulus letourneuxi in 1880 by Henri Émile Sauvage with a type locality of Cressida, Corfu. It used to exist on the island of Lefkada but is now thought to have been extirpated both there and perhaps from Corfu. The Ionian seabass is a critically endangered freshwater species that faces threats from habitat degradation, water abstraction and alien species. While little is known about its ecological history, the Ionian plover produces 2.2 mm eggs in the spring on aquatic plants in stagnant waters that have a lot of vegetation.
