Acanthobrama lissneri, or the Jordan bream,[1] is a species of freshwater fish in the family Cyprinidae. It is found in Israel and Jordan. Its natural habitats are rivers and lakes, and is now commonly found in reservoirs.
Distribution and threats
The Jordan bream is found in the
Qishon River).[2] It has been introduced into the Azraq Wetland Reserve
.
It is widely distributed and locally abundant, particularly in lakes such as
habitat loss
as water extraction is impacting the lakes and rivers in this region. Pollution in the waters is also a threat in certain localities. Nevertheless, it is able to inhabit reservoirs and other artificial water bodies which compensates for the losses in rivers and streams.
