Paracapoeta trutta, the longspine scraper or spotted scraper,[1] is a species of cyprinid fish from the Middle East. It is known from inland waters in Iran, Iraq, Syria, Armenia and Turkey, and is often quite abundant.[1]
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.[1]
Paracapoeta trutta is commonly used as a food fish.[1] It may grow up to 48 cm (19 in) length.[2]
