Abstract:

In order to enrich the karyotype information of Acrossocheilus, morphological and karyotypic analyses of Acrossocheilus kreyenbergii were performed on wild individuals collected from Zhoucun River, Jiangshan City, Zhejiang Province of China. The morphological results showed that the body length is 2.73-4.66 times and 3.20-5.23 times as long as the body depth and head length, respectively. The head length is 1.50-3.47 times and 3.72-5.96 times as long as the snout length and the eye diameter, respectively. The number of gill rakers is 8-14. The main distinguishing features of A. kreyenbergii are as the following: the lower lip is separated by two lateral lobes, the posterior labial sulci interval is narrow, less than 1/3 of the mouth width. A. kreyenbergii has a diploid chromosome number of 50 and the karyotype formula is 2n=50=14m+8sm+8st+20t. The number of chromosome arms is 72. There are no heteromorphic sex chromosomes.
