Abstract
Cobitis vettonica is an endemic cobitid fish from the Iberian Peninsula with a distribution area restricted to the River Águeda (Douro river basin) and the Alagón and Eljas rivers (Tagus river basin). This species is endangered due to pollution, habitat destruction by sediment removal and damming, and introduction of exotic species.
