Fish biodiversity in inland waters of Turkey has been prepared by reviewing of recent records. First review of systematic status for Turkey fish fauna dealt with between the years of 1856 and 2004, and about 236 fish species were listed in the inland water of Turkey (Kuru 2004). In this study; a total of 371 fish species belonging to 27 families and 92 genera was determined. More than half of the existing species were member of Cyprinidae family. Nemacheilidae, Gobiidae, Cobitidae and Salmonidae were also rich families by species. Following this review species number of fish fauna for Turkey has increased at a rate of 57% during the last decade. Fast increase of species number and possible reasons were discussed in terms of systematical approaches, zoogeography and uncertainties. On the other hand, species conservation status for each species has also been evaluated based on available information including some biological findings belonging to species.
