Size / Weight / Age
Maturity: Lm ?  range ? - ? cm
Max length : 21.5 cm TL male/unsexed; (Ref. 128592); max. published weight: 116.00 g (Ref. 128592)
Occurs in the clefts between rocks in fast-flowing sections of rivers (Ref. 50421). Leaves its cave during spring and summer to find food in the morning and at night (Ref. 50421). Stays in its cave during winter but in May or June, it is known to move out into the floodwaters to reproduce (Ref. 50421).

Estimates based on models
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 0.5625 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00871 (0.00525 - 0.01444), b=3.11 (2.97 - 3.25), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species & (Sub)family-body (Ref.
93245).
Resilience (Ref.
120179): High, minimum population doubling time less than 15 months (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref.
59153): Low vulnerability (12 of 100).
