Short description
Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics
Dorsal soft rays (total): 10 - 12; Vertebrae: 40 - 44. A member of the Catostomus (P.) platyrhynchus species group distinguished by the following characters: distal process of the dentary wide and robust, and proximal process of the dentary shorter than other species in this group; pharyngeal teeth mostly two-pointed, dorsal teeth forked, unlike the mostly single pointed, less bifurcate teeth of C. (P.) platyrhynchus, but similar to C. (P.) jordani and C. (P.) lahontan; hyomandibula narrow, with a large sphenotic condyle and a broader, more robust posterodorsal tip than C. (P.) jordani, but similar to C. (P.) platyrhynchus and C. (P.) lahontan; tall and narrow opercular bone, the width 0.51-0.57 of the over-all height (vs. 0.57-0.61 in other species); combination of post-Weberian vertebrae usually 40-44 (average 1 fewer in other species of the group except jordani); caudal peduncle depth usually 9% of SL (usually 1% higher in other species); and caudal rays pigmented, inter-radial membranes with few or no melanophores (usually immaculate in other species except when introgressed with C. (P.) virescens [in the upper Snake River] and C. (P.) discobolus [in the Green River]. Can be diagnosed from C. (P.) platyrhynchusin the Snake River above Shoshone falls (the geographically closest, potentially genetically connected relative) by having the following characters: 41-58 predorsal scales, means 43-56 (vs. 40-45 predorsal scales, means 42-44); usually 75-85 scales on lateral line, means 77-82 (vs. 80-90 scales, means 83-86); 29-37 gill rakers on the external row of the first arch (vs. 23-31 gill rakers on the external row of the first arch); 35-51 gill rakers on the internal row of the first arch (vs. 33-39 gill rakers on the internal row of the first gill arch) (Ref. 93746).

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): 2.9 ±0.2 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).
