Etymology: weitzmani: weiztmani is an eponym for Stanley H. Weiztman, in recognition of his many contributions to Neotropical ichthyology, particularly his work on the ichthyofauna of southern Brazil and the taxonomy of the genus Jenynsia..

Short description Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal spines (total): 0; Dorsal soft rays (total): 10 - 11; Anal spines: 0; Anal soft rays: 9; Vertebrae: 33. Possess a tubular gonopodium with shortened second, fourth and fifth anal fin rays, an enlarged seventh middle anal fin radial in males and females, and an elongate dorsoposterior process of the lacrimal. Branchiostegal rays: 5. Distinguished from other Plesiojenynsia by the following combination of characters: a single midlateral stripe without associated dorsolateral or ventrolateral stripes or blotches in adults; a terminal to slightly oblique mouth; fewer than 13 gillrakers; and absence of the first mandibular-canal pore.

Commonly found in upland rivers. Viviparous (Ref. 45800).

Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.5001 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01175 (0.00517 - 0.02671), b=3.08 (2.88 - 3.28), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 2.9 ±0.4 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 (10 of 100).
