Short description
Claves de identificación | Morfología | Morfometría
Radios blandos dorsales (total) : 11 - 14; Radios blandos anales: 11 - 13.
Body shape (shape guide): fusiform / normal; Cross section: oval.
Collected from an altitude of approximately 2,380 meters on a small plain between high ranges at the easternmost edge of the Zagros Mountains; from a large pool in the upper reaches of the Karun River basin which drains to the head of the Persian Gulf; shallow water at about 4 cm depth; cloudy water over mud and pebbles; with Myriophyllum (Ref. 38795) and Potamogeton sp. which are the dominant aquatic plants used as spawning substrate (Ref. 54276). Not a seasonal killifish (Ref. 27139).
Parasites ( Trichodina sp., Gyrodactylus sp., Diplostomum spathaceum, Allocreadium isoporum, Allocreadium pseudaspii, Ornithodiplostomum sp., Contracecum sp., and Acanthocephalorhynchoides cholodkowskyi) were found from a collected sample of Aphanius vladykovi in Gandoman lagoon (Ref. 125593).
