Biology     Glossary (e.g. epibenthic)

Usually in deep, swiftly flowing sections of rivers and dam reservoirs, prefers areas with abundant vegetation, and during the summer, it can also be observed in shallower waters. It is generally most abundant in the middle and lower Karkheh drainage. Associated species includes: Luciobarbus esocinus, Capoeta shajariani, Garra gymnothorax, Chondrostoma regium, Alburnus sellal, Squalius lepidus, Squalius berak, Turcinoemacheilus saadii, Glyptothorax cous and G. alidaei (Ref. 132288).
