Description synthétique Clés d'identification | Morphologie | Morphométrie

Vertèbres: 38 - 43. Alburnoides eichwaldii can be distinguished by having a deep body (body length exceeds the depth in four times), large eye, 8 [=8½] branched dorsal-fin rays, 12 [=12½] branched anal-fin rays, 50 scales in the lateral series, 11 scales above and 7 scales below lateral line. It differs from other congeners in Iran by a combination of non-unique characters: moderately rounded caudal fin lobes, not deeply forked caudal fin; commonly scaleless ventral keel; commonly deep head and slightly to markedly rounded snout; the tip of the mouth cleft is slightly below the level of the middle of the eye or at about the lower margin of pupil; 8½ dorsal-fin rays (rarely 7½ or 9½); (10)11-14½ branched anal-fin rays (commonly 12-13½); commonly 2.5-4.2 pharyngeal teeth; 44-56 total lateral line scales; 6-10 gill rakers; (38, 39) 40-43 total vertebrae; and the most common vertebral formulae are 21 + 21, 21 + 20 and 20 + 21 (Ref. 106248).
