Short description Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal soft rays (total): 7; Anal soft rays: 4 - 5. This species can be diagnosed from other congeners in the Middle East by its unique color pattern consisting of 7-9 distinct dark saddles never forming a lateral stripe (vs. mottled or presence of a lateral stripe). It further differs from other species by the combination of the following characters: deeply emarginated caudal fin; distance from anus to anal-fin origin 0.4-0.5 times in the distance from pelvic-fin to anal-fin origins; and 13 fixed nucleotide substitutions in the mtDNA COI barcode region studied (Ref. 95534).

Biology     Glossary (e.g. epibenthic)

At the type locality, the stream Tang-e-Tizab is about 20 m wide and has fast-running water and substrate consisting of coarse gravel and boulders (Ref. 95534).

Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5156   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00708 (0.00336 - 0.01491), b=3.01 (2.84 - 3.18), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  2.8   ±0.3 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. 59153):  Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
