.
Environment: milieu / climate zone / depth range / distribution range
Ecology
Freshwater; benthopelagic. Subtropical; 39°N - 38°N, 21°E - 23°E
Europe: Greece (lower Sperchios drainage).

  range ? - ? cm
Max length : 4.5 cm SL male/unsexed; (Ref.
59043
); max. reported age: 1.50 years (Ref.
59043
)
Dorsal
spines
(total): 2 - 6. Distinguished from congeners in Europe by possessing the following unique characters: dorsal fin with 2-6 spines; and pelvic girdle absent or very reduced. Differs further from other members of the genus by having the following combination of characters: body pale olive with blackish mottling; and absence of keel on side of caudal peduncle (Ref.
59043
).
Adults inhabit spring-fed streams and ponds, with temperature rarely rising above 20° C and dense vegetation. Feed on small aquatic invertebrates and fish larvae. Spawn in May-June. Males build a nest and guard the eggs until hatching. Threatened due to habitat alteration and water abstraction. Attain a maximum size up to about 4.5 cm SL (Ref.
59043
).

= 0.5020 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00468 (0.00205 - 0.01068), b=3.04 (2.83 - 3.25), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref.

).
Trophic level (Ref.

): 3.3 ±0.2 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilience (Ref.

): Medium, minimum population doubling time 1.4 - 4.4 years (Assuming Fec < 1,000).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref.
