Oxynoemacheilus evreni is a species of Cypriniformes fish in the genus Oxynoemacheilus.[3] It is widespread and locally abundant within the Ceyhan drainage where it can be found in streams and rivers which have a gravel substrate in a relatively fast to very fast current. It may have undergone a slight reduction in population due to the construction of dams but it is able to tolerate some habitats which have been altered by humans.[1]
The fish is named in honor of the son, Evren Erk’akan (b. 1987) of the senior author.[4]
