Abstract
Achondrostoma salmantinum is a small, endemic cyprinid fish from the Iberian Peninsula. It occurs in some tributaries of the Douro river basin in the Salamanca province (western Spain) and is currently endangered due to receding water levels resulting from extensive agriculture, construction of dams and weirs and water transfers.
