Short description Morphology | Morphometrics

Vertebrae: 44 - 46. Diagnosis: Distinguished from its congeners by the combination of the following characters: 2 pairs of barbels; snout rounded; 69-80 lateral line scales; 14-17 scales rows between lateral line and dorsal-fin origin. 12-14 between lateral line and anal-fin origin; 19-23 gill rakers on the first gill arch; lower jaw slightly arched in males, straight in females; head length 23.3-26.7% SL; depth of caudal peduncle 10.8-13.4% SL; head width at posterior margin of eye 49.3-56.5% HL; snout depth at nostril 30.0-41.1 % HL; length of anterior barbel 8.1-14.1 % HL and posterior barbel 11.5-19.3% HL (Ref. 57640).

Inhabits swift flowing water, with cobbles and pebbles bottom; also in lakes and reservoirs. Collected with Alburnoides bipunctatus, Barbus sp., Barbatula angorae, Capoeta sieboldi, Chalcalburnus chalcoides, Squalius cf. orientalis, and Oxynoemacheilus cf. banarescui. Spawns in May and June in central Anatolia. Reported sexual maturity at 2 years for males, 3 for females; reaches 42.8 cm FL, 1,178 g and 10 years (Ref. 57640).

Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01000 (0.00609 - 0.01643), b=3.03 (2.89 - 3.17), in cm Total Length, based on LWR estimates for this species & Genus-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 2.5 ±0.2 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives

Resilience (Ref. 120179): Medium, minimum population doubling time 1.4 - 4.4 years (tm=1-3; K=0.06; Fec>10,000).

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low to moderate vulnerability (26 of 100).
