Capoeta turani, the Seyhan scraper, is another Turkish species of cyprinid fish in the genus Capoeta. This fish, up to 15 cm long, only lives in the Seyhan River drainage, and is only known from two localities, one of which is a reservoir. Nevertheless it is locally quite abundant, and the population appears stable.[2]
