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).
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).

Trophic Level (Ref.
69278): 3.2 ±0.40 se; Based on food items.
Resilience (Ref.
