Short description Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics

Diagnosed from its congeners in Balkan Peninsula by the following characters: upper lip projecting beyond lower jaw; mouth subinferior; distal margin of anal straight; distance between tips of first and last branched anal rays (with fin stretched out) less than depth of caudal peduncle; head length 26-27% SL; body depth 22-25% SL; eye diameter 1.4-1.7 times in interorbital distance 43-47 + 2-3 scales on lateral line; caudal peduncle length 18-21% SL; scales of dorsal half of flank with a black margin on posterior edge and no or very few pigment on scale pocket; dorsal fin usually with 8½ branched rays; and anal fin usually with 9½ branched rays (Ref. 59043).

Inhabits streams with flowing, clear water. Attains up to about 30 cm SL (Ref. 59043).

Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00813 (0.00411 - 0.01607), b=3.13 (2.97 - 3.29), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this Genus-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 3.4 ±0.4 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives

Resilience (Ref. 120179): Low, minimum population doubling time 4.5 - 14 years (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low to moderate vulnerability (27 of 100).

Squalius pamvoticus (Stephanidis, 1939)
