Short description Chiavi di identificazione | Morfologia | Morfometria

This species is distinguished based on the materials from Arsuz, Ceyhan and Seyhan Rivers by the following characters: with a prominent dark-brown or dark-grey lateral stripe (vs. none in A. baliki, A. caeruleus, A. qalilus, and A. orontis with irregularly set and shaped grey blotches on silvery background); differs from A. caeruleus by having a more slender body, its body depth at dorsal-fin origin 21-26% of SL (vs. 26-34%) and by having less branched anal-fin rays, 9½-11½ (vs. 13½-17½) and with ventral keel exposed 3-10 scales in front of anus (vs. scaleless); differs from A. orontis by having less branched anal-fin rays, 9½-11½ (vs. 12½-15½), with ventral keel exposed 3-10 scales in front of anus (vs. keel exposed 0-2 scales) and with last soft dorsal-fin ray simple (vs. stiff); with total lateral line scales 49-59 (vs. 77-93 in A. heckeli, 66-89 in A. sellal, 54-72 in A. timarensis, 70-93 in A. tarichi); gill rakers on first gill arch 9-12 (vs. 13-17 in A. timarensis) (Ref. 129015).
Cross section: oval.

Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Fonte Biblio. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5000   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00692 (0.00403 - 0.01189), b=3.11 (2.97 - 3.25), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species & Genus-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Fonte Biblio. 69278):  2.8   ±0.3 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilienza (Fonte Biblio. 120179):  Medio, tempo minimo di raddoppiamento della popolazione 1.4 - 4.4 anni (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low vulnerability (10 of 100). 🛈
