Short description
Chiavi di identificazione | Morfologia | Morfometria
Spine dorsali (totale) : 0; Raggi dorsali molli (totale) : 12; Spine anali: 0; Raggi anali molli: 8; Vertebre: 41 - 42. Diagnosis: Luciobarbus rabatensis differs from other species of Luciobarbus by the following combination of characters: number of scales on lateral line 45-50; number of scales above lateral line 8.5-10.5; number of scales below lateral line 6.5-7.5; insertion of dorsal and ventral fins is in the same vertical plane; last single fin ray is ossified, with deep denticulations along its length; denticulations at mid-height of the ray are equal to or longer than ray width; in adult specimens, the inferior lip is retracted revealing the dentary; the ethmoid bone is wider than its length; the maxilla showed a large palatine process; vertebrae 41-42; and gill rakers 12-14 (Ref. 107580).
This species inhabits rivers of different typologies and is present in reservoirs (Ref. 107580). Spawning takes place at the end of April and the beginning of May; at that time, individuals migrate upstream for spawning in cold and oxygenated waters where the females excavate a nest in the gravel (Ref. 107580).
