The scaleless killifish or Hazar toothcarp (Aphanius asquamatus) is a species of freshwater fish in the Cyprinodontidae family. It is endemic to Lake Hazar in Turkey. It is a pelagic species that comes to shore in spring–early summer to spawn. It is threatened by the falling water levels of Lake Hazar due to water abstraction and reduced rainfall due to climate change.
