Short description Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics

Males displaying aggression or courtship behavior have the anterior half of their body velvety black, the posterior half bright reddish-orange and the fins whitish in color. Otherwise, both males and females are olive to brown, with only traces of two-tone color in the males. Both sexes with bright blue eyes.

Found in middle to upper reaches of (mountain) streams (Ref. 44091, 58302); known for its climbing abilities: found above 'Akaka Falls (>130 m high) on Big Island (Ref. 44091). Benthic (Ref. 58302). Used for food in Moloka'i and Maui; caught by suspending a baited ipu, or gourd, in midwater, attached to the end of a stout pole; considered a symbol of bad luck in other areas and discarded when caught (Ref. 44091). Max. length (Keoki Stender, pers. comm., 1999).

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=0.01122 (0.00514 - 0.02450), b=3.04 (2.87 - 3.21), in cm total length, based on all LWR estimates for this body shape (Ref. 93245).

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).

Price category (Ref. 80766): Very high.
