Chirostoma bartoni, the Alberca silverside, was a species of neotropical silverside endemic to the Lerma River basin of Mexico. Typical adult specimens were approximately 7.1 cm in length.[1]
The Alberca silverside was found only in the Alberca Caldera, Guanajuato, Mexico. It became extinct when the caldera temporarily dried up in August 2006.[2]
