Acanthobrama hulensis was a species of ray-finned fish in the Cyprinidae family. Its natural habitats were swamps and freshwater lakes in Lake Hula in northern Israel. Acanthobrama hulensis looked much like a sardine. In Israel other members of the genus often are called "sardin" in culinary terms.
The deliberate draining of Lake Hula in the 1950s led to the extinction of this species, along with the cichlid fish Tristramella intermedia. The Israel painted frog was believed to be extinct until a female specimen was found in 2011.[2] Acanthobrama hulensis was last recorded in 1975.[1]
Description
This species had a maximum length of 23 centimetres (9.1 in)[3] and was a bottom feeder with a diet of mollusks and zoobenthos. They spawned from February to April externally.[4]
