Comments: Type locality of Alburnus sellal adanensis, Adana. Found in Ceyhan and Seyhan river watersheds. This species is sensitive to human activities (Ref. 58342). Probably exinct since there are no recent records despite several field surveys (Ref, 129015). Also Ref. 106151. Status of threat: Vulnerable. Threatened due to habitat loss, eutrophication, construction measures in rivers, and water abstraction (Ref. 58342).

Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5000   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00776 (0.00481 - 0.01252), b=3.05 (2.92 - 3.18), in cm Total Length, based on LWR estimates for this species & Genus-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  2.7   ±0.3 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilience (Ref. 120179):  Medium, minimum population doubling time 1.4 - 4.4 years (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low vulnerability (12 of 100).
