Ecology
Freshwater; benthopelagic. Subtropical; 5°C - 25°C (Ref. 13614); 42°N - 41°N, 22°E - 24°E
Europe: Gallikos to Pinios drainagse (Greece and Macedonia).
Size / Weight / Age
Maturity: Lm ? range ? - ? cm
Max length : 12.0 cm SL male/unsexed; (Ref. 59043)
Diagnosed from Pachychilon pictum by having broad black stripe from tip of snout to middle of caudal fin base, separating silvery belly from dark brown dorsum, a vertically elongated black blotch at caudal base (stripe and blotch hardly distinct in life), lower lip with a small squarish median lone; lateral line with 35-39 + 2 scales; and anal fin with 8½ branched rays (Ref. 59043).
Body shape (shape guide): fusiform / normal.
Occurs in marshlands, lakes, and water courses on the low plains, with little current. Threatened due to water abstraction (Ref. 26100).

Estimates based on models
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 0.7500 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00724 (0.00358 - 0.01465), b=3.14 (2.97 - 3.31), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref.
93245).
Trophic level (Ref.
69278): 2.9 ±0.4 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 (10 of 100).
