The northern whitefin gudgeon (Romanogobio belingi) [2] is a species of freshwater fish in the family Cyprinidae. It is distributed in the northern Black Sea basin ( Dniester, Southern Bug, and Dnieper riverine systems), southern Baltic Sea basin ( Oder, Vistula), southern North Sea basin ( Elbe, Rhine). Also, reports from lakes Ilmen and Ladoga and its basins have been made, which are questionable. Their maximal length is 11.5 cm, with a maximal reported age of 5 years.
Named in honor of Demeter (Dimitry) E. Beling, Director of the Dnieper Biological Station, authority on Ukrainian fishes frequently cited in Slastenenko’s paper. [3]
