	<dc:description>Adults inhabit upper and middle stretches of streams with fast, clear and well oxygenated water, as well as lowland areas where Barbus barbus is absent (Ref. 59043).  A short-lived species which is found in clear waters over sand and gravel.  They feed on small invertebrates and (rarely) plants.  A combative fish which can be captured with bows or floating ling lines (Ref. 30578).  Threatened due to water abstraction and pollution (Ref. 26100) and habitat modification (Ref. 59043).  In southern France, locally forms partly fertile hybrids with B. barbus.  May attain a maximum size of about 27 cm SL (Ref. 59043).</dc:description>
