A museum record of the adventive introduction of Plagiognathops microlepis (Osteichthyes, Cypriniformes, Xenocyprididae) in Romania
We present a new museum record of Plagiognathops microlepis in Romania, an undated specimen from the fish ponds at Nucet, where this species was introduced from China, likely in 1959, when a massive import of farmed fishes from China occurred.
