Pelasgus epiroticus, the Epirote minnow or tsima, is a species of freshwater ray-finned fish belonging to the family Leuciscidae, which includes the daces, Eurasian minnows and related species. It is endemic to Lake Pamvotis in Greece. Due to the restricted range of the species as well as the significant loss its population has suffered since the early 1990s, it has been assessed as critically endangered, possibly extinct by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN).
