Écologie
; eau douce benthopélagique. Temperate; 18°C - 28°C (Ref. 12468)

Maturité: Lm ?  range ? - ? cm
Max length : 25.0 cm SL mâle / non sexé; (Ref. 59043); âge max. reporté: 5 années (Ref. 59043)
Rayons mous dorsaux (Total) : 7 - 8. Diagnosed from its congeners in Apennine Peninsula by having the following characters: 36-47 + 2-3 scales on lateral line; 22-24 scale rows around caudal peduncle; back, sides and fins speckled with large, irregular black spots and blotches; peritoneum black; last simple dorsal ray flexible, not serrated posteriorly; lower lip produced posteriorly into a median lobe (Ref. 59043). Fins are thick and fleshy; caudal fin lobes are rounded (Ref. 31730).
Body shape (shape guide): elongated.
Tends to inhabit strong currents around or under stones (Ref. 31730). Occurs in streams with swift water in hilly, sub-alpine areas. Preys on benthic invertebrates. Spawns in areas with fast-flowing water on gravel bottom. Still commonly found in suitable habitats, but number of spawning grounds has decline sharply (Ref. 59043).
