Abstract
Albinism and leucism are genetic disorders that affect the normal coloration of animals and are truly rare among wild fishes. During a sampling of adult zebra mussels in the Cadagua River (Basque Country, Spain), a leucistic specimen of Spanish stone loach (Barbatula hispanica) was seen and subsequently captured to take some photographs. This is the first published record of leucism for a non- cavefish from the family Nemacheilidae.
