Abstract

In this review, the importance of taxonomic characters used as key or delimiters in fish taxonomy and the encountered problems were discussed. The taxonomical functions of morphological and molecular data forming the basis of these problems were discussed in the study using cyprinid genus Pseudophoxinus samples as an example.
