Short communication: Morphometric and meristic comparison between two similar species of Luciobarbus barbulus (Heckel, 1847) and Luciobarbus pectoralis (Heckel, 1843)
The two species, Luciobarbus barbulus (Heckel, 1847) and Luciobarbus pectoralis (Heckel, 1843) are similar to each other and some researchers get confused and mistake one for the other. During a one year seasonal sampling, 79 specimens were collected from the main rivers of west and southwest of Iran in the Tigris River basin using electrofishing as the main method for sampling. Samples were fixed in 10% formalin and transferred to the laboratory, Then 24 morphometric and meristic parameters as well as 11 ratios of the major parameters between the two species were studied. According to the results of this study in addition to similarities there are ten differences between them, with the most important ones being the shape of the head and lips, number of gill rakers and number of pectoral fin branched rays.
