Short description Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal soft rays (total): 11 - 12; Anal soft rays: 12 - 14; Vertebrae: 46 - 48. Chondrostoma ceyhanensis can be diagnosed from all congeners in the Eastern Mediterranean region of Turkey by the combination of the following characteristics: head small (head length 20-21% SL); mouth arched, wide (width of mouth gape 22-27% SL); lower jaw arched, with a slightly developed keratinized edge; snout with slightly pointed tip; isthmus lobe markedly large and round; body slightly deep and thick (depth at dorsal-fin origin 21-25% SL); presence a slight developed keel between pelvic fin and anus; dorsal-fin origin clearly in front of pelvic-fin origin; lateral line with 59-68 scales; 9-11 scale rows between lateral line and dorsal-fin origin; 4-5, rarely 6 scale rows between lateral line and pelvic-fin origin; pharyngeal teeth formula 6-6; 24-29 gill rakers on outer side of first gill arch; total vertebrae 46-48, abdominal vertebrae 26-27 and caudal vertebrae 19-21 (Ref. 115538).

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=0.00851 (0.00431 - 0.01683), b=2.97 (2.79 - 3.15), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species & (Sub)family-body (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  2.5   ±0.1 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 (22 of 100).
