Luciobarbus pallaryi

Description

Luciobarbus pallaryi is a ray-finned fish species in the family Cyprinidae. It is found in Algeria and Morocco. Its natural habitat is freshwater springs. It is not considered a threatened species by the IUCN. The taxonomy and systematics of the Maghreb barbs are subject to considerable dispute. Some authors consider L. pallaryi a distinct species, while others include it in the Algerian barb (L. callensis). Some authorities consider Barbus lepineyi to be conspecific with L. pallaryi when the latter is considered a distinct species.
