Etymology: Barbus: Latin, barbus = barbel (Ref. 45335); karunensis: Named for the type locality, the Karun River. An adjective.
Eponymy: Sir Charles Alfred Payton (1843–1926) was a British adventurer, writer, fisherman and diplomat who was British Consul to Morocco, where this barb is found. [...] (Ref. 128868), visit book page.

Dorsal soft rays (total): 12; Anal soft rays: 8 - 9. Barbus karunensis is distinguished from other members of Barbus lacerta group by having a well-developed middle pad of the lower lip (vs. poorly developed or absent). It differs from B. cyri by having a thin upper lip (upper lip width 4-6 %HL vs. 7-9 % HL), and from B. lacerta by having a shorter anal fin; the tip of the anal fin is not reaching or reaching to about the middle of the distance between the base of the last anal-fin ray and the lower caudal-fin origin when pressed to the body (vs. reaching beyond middle, often to caudal-fin base); scale rows between the tip of the anal fin and the base of the caudal fin 5-9, mode 6 (vs. 0-3, mode 2). It can be differentiated from B. miliaris by having 59-66+2-4 (mode 61) scales in the lateral line (vs. 69-87+3-5); 26-29 (mode 26) circumpeduncular scales (vs. 28-35); maxillary barbels not reaching the middle of the eye (vs. reaching beyond), and a longer snout (eye diameter 2.7-3.5 times in snout length vs. 2.3-2.6 or eye diameter 27-35% snout length vs. 23-26%) (Ref. 115584).

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=0.00631 (0.00304 - 0.01311), b=3.08 (2.90 - 3.26), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 3.1 ±0.4 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. 59153): Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
