Etymology: Brycon: Greek, ebrykon, brykomai = to bite, to gnaw (Ref. 45335).
More on author: Fowler.
Issue
The type locality given by Fowler (1943) is not in accordance with the original label of the holotype (M.H. Sabaj, pers.comm.) or the information given by Brown (1941: 834) on the position of the Hacienda Mascota (see also Böhlke, 1958: 24-25). Type locality should be ammended to "Ecuador, Napo-Paztaza, Hacienda Mascota, río Topo, a tributary of río Paztaza, 1°25’S, 78°11’W."

Estimates based on models
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01000 (0.00244 - 0.04107), b=3.04 (2.81 - 3.27), in cm total length, based on all LWR estimates for this body shape (Ref.
93245).
Trophic level (Ref.
69278): 2.8 ±0.3 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilience (Ref.
120179): High, minimum population doubling time less than 15 months (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref.
59153): Low vulnerability (11 of 100).
