Capoeta trutta, the longspine scraper, is a species cyprinid fish from the Middle East. It is known from inland waters in Iran, Iraq, Syria and Turkey, and is often quite abundant.[2]
It spawns in running waters, but inhabits in other times also many other habitats including reservoirs and marshes. Most commonly it is found in slowly running lowland rivers.[2]
Capoeta trutta is commonly used as a food fish.[2] It may grow up to 48 cm length.[1]
