Short description Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics

This species is characterized by the following: D III,10-11; A II,7; lateral line 37-41; L.tr. 4; length of head one fourth of total (without caudal); diameter of eye one fourth the barbel on each side, measuring three fifths the diameter of the eye; mandible sharp, with a horny sheath; origin of dorsal just above the ventrals, midway between the end of the snout and the base of the caudal; last undivided dorsal ray osseous, rather feeble, not serrated; pectoral as long as the head less the snout; caudal forked. Colouration: bronzy above, whitish below; scales, except the lowermost, with a dark brown margin; a moderately distinct blackish lateral band ending in a spot before the caudal (Ref. 128817).

Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = No PD50 data   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01023 (0.00502 - 0.02088), b=2.98 (2.81 - 3.15), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  2.9   ±0.2 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
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).
