Etymology: Phoxinellus: Greek, phoxinos = certain river fish; diminituve (Ref. 45335); pseudalepidotus: The specific name, pseudalepidotus, refers to similarity with Phoxinellus alepidotus in general body shape and the absence of most scales besides the lateral line..

Short description Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics

Vertebrae: 38 - 40. A wide dark stripe along midline from eye to end of caudal peduncle within pigmented area on back and flanks; both dorsal and anal fins with 7 1/2 branched rays; snout blunt, markedly rounded; mouth subterminal; pharyngeal teeth 5-4; body scaleless besides lateral line scales and several scales above and below lateral line behind head; lateral line usually with 54-77 scales, terminating on caudal peduncle; postcleithrum usually absent (Ref. 52853).

Inhabits shallow channels with little current and clean water (Ref. 52853). The smallest ripe female measures 5.11 cm SL and the smallest ripe male 4.87 cm SL (Ref. 52853).

Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.6250 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00832 (0.00383 - 0.01808), b=3.10 (2.93 - 3.27), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 2.9 ±0.1 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives

Generation time: 3.4 ( na - na) years. Estimated as median ln(3)/K based on 1 growth studies.

Resilience (Ref. 120179): Medium, minimum population doubling time 1.4 - 4.4 years (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
