Short description Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal soft rays (total): 10; Anal soft rays: 7. Diagnosed from the species of Garra in Yuanjiang drainage in Yunnan by the following combination of characters: two pairs of barbels; 32-35 lateral line scales; 16 circumpeduncular scales; pharyngeal teeth in 3 rows, 2.4.5-5.4.2; snout rounded, with a groove in front of nostrils; and anus slightly in front of anal-fin origin, separated by 2 scales (Ref. 55924).

Adults inhabit gravel bottoms in mountain streams and adhere to stones using their disk. Length type refers to body length.

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=0.00871 (0.00540 - 0.01405), b=3.10 (2.97 - 3.23), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species & Genus-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): Unknown.
