Iran names newly discovered species of fish after Ali Daei

Seyyed Hamed Mousavi, a member of the academic board of the Guilan Faculty of Natural Resources in northern Iran said the decision was made as a token of gratitude for Daei’s efforts to collect humanitarian aid for people affected by the Kermanshah earthquake some years ago.

According to Mousavi, the research was carried out for eight months. He said the new species of fish discovered from the “Sisoridae”family in Iran, has been introduced to the world of science for the first time.

Mousavi said in Iran, some native fish have been discovered named after such great figures as Ferdosi, Hafez, Saadi, Sheikh Baha’i, Raeis Ali Delvari and Amir Kabir.
