Etymology: Parachondrostoma: Name refers refers to the combination of traits that are similar to those of Chondrostoma with others that emphasize tha distinctiveness of the two genera.
Eponymy: Arrigo (d: 1865) was a Professor in Valencia. Steindachner says he was a “dear friend” who died of cholera. However, he did not provide any first name(s) and we have not been able to identify him. (Ref. 128868), visit book page.

Short description Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics

Diagnosed from congeners by having the following characters: blunt snout, rostral cap hidden by upper lip in ventral view; lateral line with 41-50 + 3 scales; body depth 4.4-5.6 times in SL; caudal peduncle depth 1.9-2.2 times in its length; 16-23 gill rakers; and usually 6-5 pharyngeal teeth (Ref. 59043).

Inhabits stretches with swift current. Can survive in still water but needs access to flowing waters to spawn. Spawning occurs on gravel to stone bottom (Ref. 59043).

Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.5625 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00813 (0.00374 - 0.01767), b=3.10 (2.92 - 3.28), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 2.9 ±0.3 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives

Resilience (Ref. 120179): Medium, minimum population doubling time 1.4 - 4.4 years (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low vulnerability (21 of 100).
