Short description Morphology | Morphometrics

Anal soft rays: 8; Vertebrae: 45 - 47. Capoeta coadi can be distinguished from other congeners by the following combination of characters: last unbranched dorsal-fin ray weakly to moderately ossified and serrated in 1/3-2/3 of its length; scales small, 70-84 total lat¬eral line scales, 12-17 scales between dorsal-fin origin and lateral line, 9-11 scales between anal-fin origin and lateral line, 26-32 encircling least circumference of caudal peduncle; 14-18 total gill rakers, 10-13 gill rakers on lower limb of first gill arch; 45-47 total vertebrae; one posterior pair of barbels; length of the longest dorsal-fin ray 14.92-21.58% SL; head length 22.87-26.33% SL; mouth width 7.48-9.77% SL; and bright golden-greenish or silvery body coloration in life (Ref. 107008).

Biology     Glossary (e.g. epibenthic)

Inhabits medium-fast flowing rivers with usually gravel substrates and clear waters. The sampling site at the Beshar River is about 25 m wide with with substrate comprising of coarse gravel and boulders, and fast-flowing and semi-transparent waters. The following physicochemical parameters at the spot were recorded: dissolved oxygen, 9.89 mg/L; total dissolved solids, 190.2 mg/L; salinity, 0.19 ppt; conductivity, 395 ?s/cm; pH: 8.5 and water temperature 23.4 °C. (Ref. 107008).

Estimates of some properties based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82805):  PD50 = 0.5000   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01023 (0.00473 - 0.02214), 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):  2.6   ±0.2 se; Based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilience (Ref. 69278):  Medium, minimum population doubling time 1.4 - 4.4 years (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low to moderate vulnerability (33 of 100) .
