Bibliography

1756-2009

This section contains all the papers and books which are the basis for my book Freshwater Fishes of Iraq (Pensoft Publishers, Sofia-Moscow, 2010).

Additions to this site were terminated at the end of 2009 on completion of the book although occasional systematic and taxonomic works may be added. There is now a very active production of papers on the ecology of Iraqi fishes, much of it available on-line and easily searched electronically.

This work also attempts to be a bibliography on the freshwater fishes of Iraq and their environment. As such it includes items which mention fish and the environment in a general sense, in passing, or on topics not fully relevant here. Some marine works are included as the species are known to enter the estuary of the Shatt Al-Arab.

A companion bibliography on the Freshwater Fishes of Iran is available at www.briancoad.com, on Turkey in Coad and Kuru (1986) and Fricke et al. (2007), on the whole Tigris-Euphrates basin in Coad and Al-Hassan (1989a), on Syria and the Levant in the works of F. Krupp, and on the fishes of Saudi Arabia in the works of H. F. Alkahem and R. J. Behnke and those of F. Krupp. The present bibliography contains articles on neighbouring countries and on systematic studies in order to enable a reader to place the Iraqi fishes in context.

The large number of articles listed here, the length of many, their limited availability, and costs involved make it impossible to loan xeroxes except in restricted cases. Please use your interlibrary loan service.

Use of diacritical marks in various languages in this Bibliography may not always transfer across platforms. As a consequence, some diacritical marks can appear as gibberish letters (with apologies to colleagues in eastern Europe and Turkey).

Transliteration of personal names into English from other languages, notably Arabic and Farsi, often gives variant spellings. When I am aware that the same person is meant, the original journal spelling is given followed by (sic) to indicate that the author may appear under another spelling. The same (sic) is used to denote misspellings in titles.

Some of the Iraqi journals cited here were published later than their cover date. It was not always possible to track this, as some issues give true date of publication while others do not. This has comparatively little significance for fish articles except possibly for new parasite species descriptions, should any of these names have questions of publication priority.

Information derived from web sites is ephemeral but serves to document the information source. The date of download is given as well as the URL. In some cases where the URL is particularly long and involved, only an abbreviated URL is given to the general site. Some of these articles have authors, usually noted, others do not. Some articles listed in this Bibliography are taken from the website of a print journal; the web version does not always list print volume and pagination but the URL is given. Note that these links to websites may be broken.

There is an extensive popular literature, many newspaper and magazine reports, and web articles on the marshes of southern Iraq. Only a selection of the more important or extensive of these are listed here as most are repetitive and contain no new information, nor useful information on fishes. There is also a popular and grey literature on Iraqi fishes but this could not be fully surveyed. Many university theses in Arabic were not available although their scientific content often became available later in journal publications. Conference proceedings are cited where known but many of these consist of only a brief abstract or just the title of a presentation. Some libraries in Iraq were destroyed and items like theses and conference proceedings may no longer be readily available.
