Eponymy: The etymology is not explained by Bonaparte, and it may not be an eponym. However, Telestes was the name of the last king of ancient Corinth (748 BC) and of a poet of 5th-century Greece, so the name might refer to one of these. Field Marshall Johann August Ritter von Tursky (1778–1856) was an Austrian who was Governor of Dalmatia (then part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire). [...] (Ref. 128868), visit book page.

Short description Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics

Diagnosed from its congeners by having the following characters: conspicuous black midlateral stripe in preserved individuals; 71-79 scales along lateral line; dorsal fin with 7½ branched rays; anal fin with 8½ branched rays; 8-9 gill rakers; and caudal peduncle depth 2.0-2.2 times in its length (Ref. 59043).

Inhabits slow-flowing and still water. Possibly enters subterranean waters during winter or droughts (Ref. 59043). Occurs in water courses on the low plains, with little current and in lakes. Feeds on invertebrates. Threatened due to water abstraction and pollution (Ref. 26100).

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 (0.00374 - 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): 3.5 ±0.37 se; based on food items.

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

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low vulnerability (15 of 100).
