Abstract

Georgia is a country of great diversity of freshwater fish species that is facilitated due to the landscape diversity and richness of water resources. As an area of global biological importance, measuring biodiversity and the conservation of species is a significant issue. Recent taxonomic research found 96 freshwater fish species, from which several species did not have local Georgian names. These includes recently described species, or first country records, and species that were named wrongly in the past. In this paper, we provide the Georgian local names of all the freshwater fish species distributed in the country and discussed the importance of local names.
