Capoeta antalyensis View in CoL
Common name. Pamphylian scraper.
Diagnosis. Distinguished from other species of Capoeta in Mediterranean basin and endorheic basins in Central Anatolia by: ● two pairs of barbels / ● 49–57 total lateral-line scales / ○ posterior edge of last unbranched dorsal ray smooth, without serrae / ○ 15–17 gill rakers / ○ edge of lower jaw cornified. Size up to 240 mm SL.
Distribution. Türkiye: Aksu, Köprüçay drainages and coastal streams east to Manavgat.
Habitat. Fast-flowing stretches of rivers and larger streams with gravel or rock substrate.
Biology. Feeds on detritus, periphyton, and occasionally small invertebrates.
Conservation status. VU; believed to be declining within its small range.
Remarks. In Ilıca and Manavgat, individuals with two, three and four barbels occur together. Hybrids of C. antalyensis and C. caelestis inhabit these streams. No hybrids were observed west of Gündoğdu ( 36.8502, 31.2900), where only C. antalyensis is found.
