Attributs

  • DISTRIBUTION: Lien Faunafri
  • Colour pattern : Skelton, 1993b | Skelton, 2001 .
  • Common names : Treurrivier-ghieliemientjie (Afrikaans), Parmicka treurska (Czech), Treur barb / Treur River Barb (English), Treuri pardkala (Estonian) .
  • Current distribution known : the only remaining natural subpopulations are in the upper Blyde River (tributary of the Limpopo River system). This population is restricted to a 4.5 km stretch of river above a waterfall. A re-introduction of this species was done into the Treur River (part of its natural distribution) in 1995 and has established in a stretch of river of approximately 7 km long .

  • Food habits / trophic level : feeds mainly on aquatic invertebrates, but also ingests filamentous algae and can be considered a facultative feeder .

  • Genetics : Yang et al., 2015 .
  • Growth / growth performance : Kleynhans, 1987 .
  • Habitat / home range : occurs in cool, clear flowing mountain streams with loose rock substrate and the riparian zone consisting mainly of grass and shrubs. This species is predominantly found in small pools (3 m to 4 m in diameter and 1.2 m to 2.3 m deep), as well as in . Where they occur in runs it is primarily behind rocks to avoid velocity of the current. The velocity in the pools range from 0.1 m sec-1 to 0.28 m sec-1 with an average depth of 1.8 m .
