Capoeta coadi can be distinguished from other congeners by the following combination of characters: last unbranched dorsal-fin ray weakly to moderately ossified and serrated in 1/3-2/3 of its length; scales small, 70-84 total lat¬eral line scales, 12-17 scales between dorsal-fin origin and lateral line, 9-11 scales between anal-fin origin and lateral line, 26-32 encircling least circumference of caudal peduncle; 14-18 total gill rakers, 10-13 gill rakers on lower limb of first gill arch; 45-47 total vertebrae; one posterior pair of barbels; length of the longest dorsal-fin ray 14.92-21.58% SL; head length 22.87-26.33% SL; mouth width 7.48-9.77% SL; and bright golden-greenish or silvery body coloration in life (Ref. 107008). |
