Short description
Κλείδες προσδιορισμού | Μορφολογία | Μορφομετρία
Ραχιαίες άκανθες (συνολικά) : 0; Μαλακές ραχιαίες ακτίνες (συνολικά) : 10; Εδρικές άκανθες: 0; Μαλακές εδρικές ακτίνες: 8. Diagnosis: Garra tana is distinguished from African congeners by the following combination of features: very weakly developed disc; between 3 and 5 predorsal scales anterior to dorsal fin; chest, belly, and postpelvic region asquamate; elongate, narrow caudal peduncle, its length 20.4-22.3% of standard length, its depth 7.2-10.0% of standard length; and short intestine (Ref. 58532).
It can be found close to shore, 25-2000 m, in water ranging from 2 to 14 m in depth, over mud, sand, and rocks (Ref. 58532).
