👉 Bathytroctes is a genus of small, bony fish that belong to the family Cyprinidae and are native to the waters of the Mediterranean Sea, including the Adriatic, Ionian, and Aegean regions. They have a distinctive, narrow mouth with a hard, flat bone that helps them glide over surfaces without breaking through. Their body is covered in scales that provide protection from predators and offer them a variety of habitats, from rocky shores to shallow waters.
