Short description Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics
This species is distinguished from O. anatolicus and all other species of the O. angorae group by the following: with a series of dark-brown midlateral blotches usually fused into a wide, irregular shaped midlateral stripe, rarely a mottled pattern (vs. a mottled or marbled pattern or a series of midlateral blotches or short bars not forming a stripe), and with a depigmented stripe along the anterior part of the lateral line (vs. absent or very poorly expressed); differs further from O. anatolicus by having pre-dorsal back with a mottled or marbled pattern, rarely with distinct saddles (vs. pre-dorsal back usually with 3-4 large saddles, wider than interspace), and caudal peduncle depth 1.5-1.8 times in its length (vs. 1.3-1.6) (Ref. 131061).

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=0.00794 (0.00525 - 0.01202), b=3.01 (2.89 - 3.13), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species & 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).
