Short description Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal soft rays (total): 12; Anal soft rays: 8. Oreichthys incognito is istinguished from its congeners by a combination of following characters: 21-22+1 scales in the longitudinal series with 5 pored scales; ½3/1/1½ scales in the transverse row; 8 predorsal scales and a vertical black bar on the dorsal fin (Ref. 99423).

Biology     Glossary (e.g. epibenthic)

Found in shallow river with rapid flow over a substrate of gravel and cobbles and with river banks composed of stands of Pandanus and other riparian vegetation. Collected close to the bank among submerged vegetation (Ref. 99423).

Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5078   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01096 (0.00516 - 0.02330), b=2.99 (2.82 - 3.16), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  3.0   ±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 (10 of 100).
