Short description
Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics
This species is distinguished by the following characters: differs from A. demiri by having fewer branched anal-fin rays, 11-13½ (vs. 13-14½), fewer scales in the lateral line 40-47 (vs. 46-49), more scale rows between the lateral line and the dorsal-fin origin, 6-8 (vs. 9) and fewer gill rakers on the first gill arch 15-19 (vs. 18-21), with a more slender caudal peduncle 8.9-10.5% SL (vs.10.5-11.1% SL); differs from A. escherichii (from the adjacent Sakarya River drainage) and A. nasreddini (from the adjacent Eber, Aksehir and Ilgin Lake basins) by having less gill rakers. 15-19, mode 18 (vs. 12-16, mode 13 in A. escherichii, 13-14, mode 13 in A. nasreddini), less scales in the lateral line 40-47 (vs. 45-53 in A. escherichii, 45-51 in A. nasreddinii) and more scale rows between the lateral line and the dorsal-fin origin 6-8 (vs. 8-10) (Ref. 119731).

Estimates based on models
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = No PD50 data [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00661 (0.00311 - 0.01404), b=3.12 (2.95 - 3.29), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this Genus-body shape (Ref.
93245).
Trophic level (Ref.
69278): 2.8 ±0.3 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilience (Ref.
120179): High, minimum population doubling time less than 15 months (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref.
59153): Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
