Short description
Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics
Dorsal soft rays (total): 9 - 10. Paracanthocobitis adelaideae is distinguished from all other congeners by the combination of the following characters: complete lateral line; presence of axillary pelvic lobe; male with suborbital flap; 9 1/2 -10 1/2 dorsal-fin rays; dark dorsal saddles connected to large squarish blotches on side along and below lateral line; black caudal spot irregularly shaped, at dorsal margin of caudal peduncle; and wide head (interorbital 33.3% of HL) (Ref. 102002).

Estimates based on models
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 0.5005 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00708 (0.00336 - 0.01491), b=3.01 (2.84 - 3.18), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-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 (10 of 100).
