Short description
Morphology | Morphometrics
Vertebrae: 43 - 44. Diagnosis: Distinguished from its congeners by the combination of the following characters: two pairs of barbels; snout bluntly rounded; 72-86 lateral line scales; 14-17 scales rows between lateral line and dorsal fin origin, 10-11 (modally 10) between lateral line and anal-fin origin; 16-22 gill rakers on the first gill arch; lower jaw slightly arched in males, straight in females; head length 21.9-24.8% SL; depth of caudal peduncle 9.5-12.3% SL; head width at posterior margin of eye 55.6-63.5% HL; snout depth at nostril 33.1-41.6% HL; length of anterior barbel 9.8-18.7% HL and posterior barbel 14.7-25.5% HL (Ref. 57640).
Inhabits slowly flowing water, with cobbles and pebbles bottom; also in lakes and reservoirs. 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 of some properties based on models
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82805): PD
50 = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00759 (0.00379 - 0.01520), b=2.98 (2.81 - 3.15), in cm Total Length, based on LWR estimates for this Genus-body shape (Ref.
93245).
Trophic Level (Ref.
69278): 2.5 ±0.2 se; Based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilience (Ref.
69278): Medium, minimum population doubling time 1.4 - 4.4 years (Assuming tm=1-3 and Fec>10,000).
Vulnerability (Ref.
59153): Moderate vulnerability (42 of 100) .
