Short description
Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics
Distinguished from its congeners in Europe by the combination of the following characters: in adults, flank covered by small tubercles (at least in spring), slightly rugous to the touch; caudal fin truncate; dorsal fin origin slightly in front of pelvic origin; caudal peduncle depth 1.6-2.1 times in its depth, 1.7-2.0 times in body depth (Ref. 59043).
Facultative or obligate air-breathing (Ref. 126274); Inhabits springs along lake shores and streams with stone bottom (Ref. 59043).

50 = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00724 (0.00347 - 0.01512), b=3.01 (2.83 - 3.19), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref.
