Acanthobrama telavivensis, commonly known as the Yarkon bream or Yarkon bleak, is a
system.Description
The silver fish, which grows to a length of 20 centimetres (7.9 in), was reintroduced to the Afek springs and Ein Nymphit by the Israel Nature Preservation Authority.[2][3]
History
Throughout 1950 to 1970, there was a very sharp decline in the species population. The population was stable until a
IUCN declared this species sufficiently 'wild' (i.e. no direct intervention) to remove it from its "Extinct in the Wild" category, and is now considered "Vulnerable".[1]
