Short description Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics

This species is distinguished from its congeners in the O. tigris group by the following set characters, none of which are unique: male without suborbital groove; incomplete lateral line not reaching or reaching below the dorsal-fin base; scaleless on back and flank; with a median incision in the upper lip; individuals larger than 5.0 cm SL with a high dorsal adipose crest on the posterior-most caudal peduncle, the dorsal crest is not reaching to the vertical through the anal-fin base; pelvic-axillary lobe absent; deep caudal peduncle, its length 1.0–1.3 times its depth; flank with a marmorate pattern or with large, irregularly shaped and narrowly spaced dark-brown bars or blotches, usually more prominent on the flank behind the dorsal-fin base (Ref. 120397).

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=0.00891 (0.00496 - 0.01603), b=3.04 (2.89 - 3.19), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species & Genus-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 2.8 ±0.3 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives

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).
