Short description
Morfología | Morfometría
Espinas dorsales (total): 2 - 3; Radios blandos dorsales (total): 5; Espinas anales 3; Radios blandos anales: 4. This species is distinguished from its congeners by the following set of characters: canaliculate scales on the lateral line 38-44 (mean = 40.9, Md = 41 n = 36); scales above the lateral line 5-6 (mean = 5.8, Md = 6 n = 36); scales below the lateral line 3-4 (mean = 3.1, Md = 3 n = 36); caudal peduncle low (SL/BLD<10); body depth high in comparison to caudal peduncle depth (BD/BLD > 2); pharyngeal teeth 5/5; dentary with coronoid process wide; skull narrow with HL/ID>3. Genetic distances from the other Achondrostoma species inferred from the MT-CYTB gene sequence were: about 7.7 % with respect to A. salmantinum, 4.1 % with respect to A. occidentale, about 6-6.3 % with respect to A. oligolepis, 6.8-6.9 % with A. arcasii (here defined as the Ebro and adjacent Mediterranean rivers), and 6.6 % with Central-Eastern Duero. It has 13 autapomorphies in the mitochondrial cytochrome b gene, one of which is a transversion (Ref. 128766).
This species lives in rivers and lakes placed in the western of the Cantabrian mountains in
oligotrophic waters shady with vegetation. Breeding occurs during summer and spring (Ref. 128766).
