"Antalya bleak The Antalya bleak (""Alburnus baliki"") is a species of ray-finned fish in the genus ""Alburnus"". It is endemic to Turkey and is commonly found in schools in clear, vegetated fresh water. The Antalya bleak is similar in appearance to other members of its genus, ""Alburnus"". In addition, it has 12 dorsal rays, 16-18 anal rays and 36-38 vertebra. The longest known specimen was 6.1 cm long. it is only known from Turkey and was discovered in 2000 in the Manavgat River system.
