Short description
Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics
Dorsal soft rays (total): 12 - 13; Anal soft rays: 8. Capoeta pyragyi differs from other congeners in Iran by following combination of characters, none of them unique: relatively high and laterally compressed body; sexually dimorphic with mouth arched in male and straight in female; 4 unbranched and 8-9 branched dorsal-fin rays, its outer margin concave; 18-26 long serrae along its 50-60% of posterior margin, narrowly spaced and moderately strong; 17-19 gill rakers, 13-15 on lower limb; 24-26 scales around caudal peduncle; Lateral line complete with 68-76 scales; 13-16 scales between dorsal-fin origin and lateral line and 8-10 between anal-fin origin and lateral line (Ref. 116759).

Trophic level (Ref.
69278): 2.6 ±0.2 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilience (Ref.
120179): High, minimum population doubling time less than 15 months (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref.
