Short description
Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics
Distinguished from all its congeners in Balkan Peninsula by the combination of the following characters: flank and side of head with few black spots; red spot dark, wine-red; body depth 23-29% SL; preanal length 75-79% SL; predorsal length 47-49% SL; and interorbital distance 29-32% SL (Ref. 59043).
Inhabits mountain streams (Ref. 59043).

Estimates based on models
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01047 (0.00480 - 0.02286), b=3.03 (2.86 - 3.20), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this Genus-body shape (Ref.
93245).
Trophic level (Ref.
69278): 3.5 ±0.5 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.
