Short description Morphology | Morphometrics

Distinguished from its congeners in Europe by having forked caudal fin, caudal peduncle depth 1.1-1.3 times in its length, eye diameter 17-19% HL; no suborbital flap in males, lateral line reaching caudal base, and 8½ branched dorsal rays (Ref. 59043).

Biology     Glossary (e.g. epibenthic)

Occurs in the upper part of stream, with current and clear, cold water (Ref. 59043). Hides among the stones of the substrate. Stomach contents of a 6.32 cm SL female consists of aquatic insects larvae (Ref. 57755). Water abstraction may pose threat to its population (Ref. 59043).

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=0.00851 (0.00476 - 0.01523), b=3.08 (2.93 - 3.23), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species & Genus-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  3.2   ±0.40 se; based on food items.
Resilience (Ref. 120179):  Medium, minimum population doubling time 1.4 - 4.4 years (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
