Description
Garra klatti
Common name. Anatolian golden barb.
Diagnosis. Distinguished from other species of Garra in Central Anatolia, Mediterranean, and Dead Sea basins by: ○ no barbels / ○ gular disc incomplete / ○ 15−17 gill rakers / ○ many papillae on mental pad / ○ 36–41+1–2 scales in lateral series / ○ lateral line incomplete, with 6−32 pored scales. Size up to 75 mm SL.
Distribution. Türkiye: Lake Eğirdir basin, Lake Işıklı basin in upper Büyük Menderes drainage, Lake Gölcük (Isparta), and upper Köprüçay drainage.
Habitat. Springs, lakes, and slow-flowing streams.
Biology. Lives up to 4 years. Spawns in second year.
Conservation status. VU; extirpated from Gölcük and Eğirdir basins due to invasion of non-native species. Other populations in decline.
Remarks. Earlier placed in Hemigrammocapoeta or Crossocheilus and considered as a synonym of G. kemali by some authors. Hemigrammocapoeta menderesensis is a synonym.
