Cottus jaxartensis is a species of freshwater ray-finned fish belonging to the family Cottidae, the typical sculpins. This fish is endemic to the basin of the Syr-Darya in Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan. [1] This species is classified within the nominate subgenus of the genus Cottus and it is closely related to the European bullhead (Cottus gobio) of which it was considered as subspecies. [2] The specific name, jaxartensis, means "of the Jaxartes", the ancient name of the Syr Darya River. [3]
