BLICCOPSIS ABRAMO-RUTILUS. 
(hybrid between the white bream and the roach). 
Fig. 201. 
Body more elongated , deep as in the Rudd or Roach — greatest depth about 31 % of the length. Dorsal margin 
more compressed , but covered with scales , though not regularly arranged. , in the median line. Dorsal fin with 9 a 
branched rays, anal with 16 b . Distance from the tip of the snout to the dorsal fin about half the length of the 
body, and only slightly greater than that to the foremost point in the insertion of the ventral fins. At most 10 
scales in a transverse row above the lateral line. Pharyngeal teeth set in one or two rows and with smooth or 
only faintly pectinated masticatory surface.

In its most pronounced form, the form with the 
influence of the Leuciscine type most distinct, this 
hybrid most resembles a Roach with the anal fin con- 
siderably elongated and the forepart of the back extra- 
ordinarily compressed (carinated). It thus differs at 
the first glance from the preceding hybrid partly in 
the more elongated body, partly in the apparently 
greater size of the scales. These are not so densely
