Perea, A. Yahyaoui and I. Doadrio0 Taxonomic review of the genus <i>Luciobarbus</i> Heckel, 1843 (Actinopterygii, Cyprinidae) from northwestern Morocco with the description of three new species. Graellsia 71(2,e27):1-24. (Ref. 107580) FB-GeneralDescr-68131 http://purl.org/dc/dcmitype/Text text/html Gert Boden 2017-01-18 16:52:14 2024-03-06 00:00:00 Biology http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/3.0/ http://www.fishbase.org/summary/SpeciesSummary.php?id=68131 This species inhabits rivers of different typologies and is present in reservoirs (Ref. 107580). Spawning takes place at the end of April and the beginning of May; at that time, individuals migrate upstream for spawning in cold and oxygenated waters where the females excavate a nest in the gravel (Ref. 107580).

The preorbital distance is short and the proportion with respect to head length is 29.2-40.5%; the circumorbital bones are narrow; the barbels are similar in size to those of Luciobarbus maghrebensis and L. rifensis, but, due to a shorter snout, the first barbel usually reaches the anterior edge of the eye; the second barbel usually extends to the posterior edge of the eye, but does not reach the preopercle; the anterior barbel is 22.1-26.3% of head length and the second 22.3-32.8% of head length; the lips of adult specimens are usually retracted, and the dentary bone is visible; the lacrimal bone has a short and high manubrium; the iris is yellow pigmented at the superior border (Ref. 107580). The dorsal fin is placed posteriorly on the body with a predorsal length of 50.9-56.3% of standard length; dorsal fin with 4 unbranched and 8 branched rays; the profile of the dorsal fin is concave with the last single ray ossified with pronounced denticulation; the pectoral and ventral fins are longer in males, and the anal fin is longer in females; anal fin with 3 unbranched rays and 5 branched rays; pectoral fin with 1 unbranched ray and 15-16 branched rays; pelvic fin with 1 unbranched ray and 8 branched rays; the caudal fin is long, with a length of 20.4-24.2% of standard length (Ref. 107580). The caudal peduncle is slightly more elongated than in Luciobarbus maghrebensis and L. rifensis, with a height from 34.7-38% of standard length; the height of the caudal peduncle is 1.4-1.7 times the anal peduncle length (Ref. 107580). Pharyngeal teeh in adults 4.3.2-4.3.2 (Ref. 107580). The skull is long and narrow with the ethmoid bone wider than its length; the lacrimal bone is short; the basioccipital bone has a wide pentagonal plate; the palatine process of the maxilla is more conspicuous and the pharyngeal bone is narrow (Ref. 107580).Colouration: The colour is slightly yellow, brownish in the dorsal region and more silver in the ventral area (Ref. 107580).
