Template:More footnotes Template:Short description Template:Speciesbox
Barbus carottae is a species of ray-finned fish in the genus Barbus from Lake Yliki in Greece.[1]
Etymology
Named for Arianna Carotta who collected the specimens used for the species description, along with the author.[1]
Description
Generally very similar to other lake populations of barbels. Body colour uniformly silver in adults and speckled by brownish, irregular spots in juveniles. Dorsal fin, 7-8 soft rays, spiny and serrated last unbranched dorsal-fin ray. Median lobe of the posterior lip moderately compressed. The distinguishing feature is the large scales. The SL of the holotype was Template:Cvt and when compared to similar sized syntypes, the number of scales along the lateral line was reduced to 39-43, from 50-57. There were also fewer rows of scales above and below the lateral line (8-10 above, 6-8 below).[1]
