Oxynoemacheilus kiabii is a species of stone loach from the genus Oxynoemacheilus which is endemic to Iran.[2] It is found in the drainage in clear, fast flowing streams. The Karkeh is a tributary of the Karun which in turn flows into the lower Tigris.[1] The authors , and Jörg Freyhof gave the specific name kiabii in honour of the Iranian conservationist to show their appreciation for his work in conserving Iran's vertebrate fauna, especially the fish.[1]
