Short description Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal soft rays (total): 10; Anal soft rays: 8; Vertebrae: 40 - 44. This species can be diagnosed by the following characters: maxillary barbel short, more of the same eye diameter; adult males with lamina circularis simple and roundish; upper segments of the first branched ray of the pectoral fin narrow; prepelvic myotome 14; line L5 organized in 11-17 oblong or ovoid blotches out of spawning season, and lines L3 and L5 in adult male well-developed longitudinal obvious stripes during spawning season; lower and upper spot at caudal base not connected; tetraploid (Ref. 118115).

Occurs in the middle and lower reaches of rivers with sandy-mud bottom (Ref. 118115).

Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00562 (0.00254 - 0.01244), b=3.05 (2.87 - 3.23), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this Genus-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 3.2 ±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).
