Orestias is a genus of pupfish. Older systematics classified them into the own family Orestiidae. They are found in lakes, rivers and springs in the Andean highlands of South America, and several species are considered threatened. They are egg-laying fish that feed on small animals and plant matter. The largest species can reach a total length of 27 cm (10.6 in), but most remain far smaller. Their most characteristic feature is the absence of the ventral fin, although this is shared by a few other pupfish. Despite their moderate to small size, they are important to local fisheries and a few species are farmed.

  • Die Andenkärpflinge, Titicaca-Kärpflinge oder Südamerikanischen Hochlandkärpflinge (Orestias) sind eine Gattung aus der Ordnung der Zahnkärpflinge. Sie sind 9 bis 22 Zentimeter große, längliche Raubfische, die vor allem durch das Fehlen der Bauchflossen gekennzeichnet sind. Ihre Nahrung besteht aus tierischem Plankton. Sie kommen im Titicaca-See und anderen peruanischen, bolivianischen und chilenischen Gewässern des Altiplano in Höhenlagen über 3.600 m vor. Viele Arten aus dieser Gattung sind aufgrund von Umweltverschmutzung und Faunenverfälschung durch Fremdfische selten geworden. Eine Art – der Raubkärpfling (Orestias cuvieri) – ist möglicherweise ausgestorben. (de)

  • Orestias – rodzaj ryb z rodziny karpieńcowatych. Dawniej umieszczano go w osobnej rodzinie Orestiidae. Przedstawiciele są planktonem zwierzęcym. Osiągają długość od 9 do 22 cm. Rzuca się w oczy brak płetwy brzusznej. Są endemitami jezior w Peru, Boliwii i Chile na wysokościach do 3600 m n.p.m. Wiele gatunków stało się rzadkich z powodu konkurencji z rybami wprowadzonymi przez człowieka, zanieczyszczeń i innych działań człowieka. Jednego z nich widziano po raz ostatni w 1939, sądzi się więc, że już wyginął. Inne zajmują bardzo niewielkie obszary (Parenti 1984). (pl)
