Etymology: Alburnus: From the city of Al Bura, where the fish was known (Ref. 45335); selcuklui: Named after The Great Selcuklu (Seljuk) Empire (1037-1194), originating from the branch of Oguz Turks, which controlled a vast area stretching from the Hindu Kush to eastern Anatolia and from Central Asia to the Persian Gulf.

Short description Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics
Anal soft rays: 14 - 15. Alburnus selcuklui can be diagnosed from other congeners in East Anatolia by the combination of the following characters: head short; snout rounded; anal-fin origin 0-4 scales behind dorsal fin-base; 70-80 + 3-4 scales on lateral line; 10-15 gill rakers; prominent epidermal lateral stripe; lateral body without black pigmentation along and below lateral line; 8½-9 branched dorsal-fin rays; and 11-12½ branched anal-fin rays. Other diagnostic characters include the following: a very weak ventral keel exposed for 8-16 scales in front of anus; head length 21-24 % SL, 0.9-1.2 times in body depth at dorsal-fin origin; predorsal length 52-56 % SL; caudal peduncle depth 9-11 % SL, caudal peduncle length 21-24 % SL; eye diameter 23-30 % head length, 0.78-1.08 times in interorbital distance; body depth at dorsal-fin origin 20-26 % SL; faint, dark lateral stripe on body; and caudal peduncle 2.0-2.6 times longer than deep (Ref. 115533).
Found in a small branch of Botan stream from Tigris drainage characterized by stony-gravely stream bed and clean water. Flow rate in the stream is around 200-3000 liter/sc, changes with season and increases with the melt of snow in spring, but decreases in hot summer (Ref. 115533).

Estimates based on models
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD50 = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00661 (0.00311 - 0.01404), b=3.12 (2.95 - 3.29), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this Genus-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 2.8 ±0.3 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilience (Ref. 120179): Medium, minimum population doubling time 1.4 - 4.4 years (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
