Las tres especies están en grave peligro, algunas de sus poblaciones ya se han extinguido; el hombre es autor y responsable de su desaparición: A la destrucción y/o transformación de sus hábitats podemos añadir el incremento de la contaminación y la introducción de especies exóticas tanto depredadoras como competidoras.
Esta web está dedicada al estudio y conservación de las especies de Ciprinodóntidos Ibéricos.
Cyprinodontids (="toothed
carps") are small fish distributed around Africa, America, Europa and Asia.
There are three endemic species from Spain: Valencia hispanica, Aphanius
baeticus and Aphanius iberus; and another introduced: Fundulus heteroclitus.
All three species are greatly endangered, some of their populations are already extinguished; men are the author and responsible for these disparitions. To the destruction and/or transformation of their habitats we can add the pollution and introduction of exotic species both predators or competitors.
