| Max. size: |
30 cm SL (male/unsexed) |
| Environment: |
benthopelagic; freshwater |
| Distribution: |
Europe: streams of eastern Adriatic slope from Zrmanja to Mornos drainages (Croatia, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Montenegro, Albania, Macedonia, Greece). This species probably represents an artificial assemblage of several species. Salmo occurring from Alfios (Peloponnese) possibly refer to this species. Status of threat: near threatened. |

Distinguished from all its congeners in Balkan Peninsula by the combination of the following characters: preanal length 73-80% SL; predorsal length 44-50% SL; 18-21 total gill rakers; interorbital distance 24-31% HL. This species is probably an artificial assemblage of several species. Several populations differ morphologically (Ref. 59043). |
| Biology: |
Inhabits stretches with swift, clear, cold water, rapids and small waterfalls. Size reaches up to at least 30 cm SL (Ref. 59043). |
| IUCN Red List Status: |
