Short description
Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics
Diagnosed from congeners in western Europe by having the following characters: keel from nape to dorsal origin; snout projecting, pointed, tip rounded; upper jaw projecting; dorsal profile of head and body not continuously rounded, with distinct hump; snout length 32-35% HL; and lateral line with 47-52 + 2-3 scales (Ref. 59043).
Inhabits streams, sectors with current, clear, and cool water, in deep pool. Reaches up to about 28 cm SL (Ref. 59043).

50 = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00977 (0.00424 - 0.02252), b=3.02 (2.81 - 3.23), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref.
