The specimens were collected from central and southern Anatolia. The collected specimens were carried alive to the laboratory. Chromosome slides were prepared and Ag-staining technique was applied. Ag-NOR metaphases were photographed with a camera-equipped light microscope. Karyotypes of this metaphases were arranged. Ag-NORs were distributed between the second and eighth submetacentric chromosome pairs in the studied species. This study reveals the details of the Ag-NOR distributions on the karyotypes and may improve the cytogenetic data of the genus. Keywords : Leuciscin, Chromosome, Silver staining
