Short description
Claves de identificación | Morfología | Morfometría
Distinguished from its congeners in Balkan Peninsula by the following combination of characters: 38-43 + 2-3 scales on lateral line; anal fin usually with 11½ branched rays; pectoral fin with 14-18 rays; 17-24 gill rakers; dorsal profile of head conspicuously concave, tip of snout about level of middle eye; articulation of lower jaw below or behind anterior margin of eye; eye close to dorsal head profile when viewed laterally; head length 24-35% SL; and body depth 20-30% SL (Ref. 59043).
Occurs in lakes and lowland water courses with little current. Feeds on plants (Ref. 26100). Deposits among vegetation adhesive, spherical and yellow eggs which hatch in 4 days at 25° C (Ref. 59043). Threatened due to water abstraction, pollution and habitat destruction (Ref. 26100).
