Claves de identificación | Morfología | Morfometría
Diagnosed from other species of Barbus and Luciobarbus in Balkan Peninsula by having the following characters: 39-44 + 2 scales on lateral line; 18-20 scale rows around caudal peduncle; snout with large tubercles in large individuals; last simple dorsal ray slender, serrated posteriorly along half to entire length; posterior margin of dorsal fin straight; and lower lip thin, without median lobe (Ref. 59043).
Inhabits lakes and streams with stone and gravel bottom (Ref. 59043). Occurs in water bodies in low-lying plains with little current. Feeds on invertebrates and algae. Threatened by water abstraction and pollution (Ref. 26100). Size reaches up to at least 50 cm SL (Ref. 59043).
