Short description Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics

This species is distinguished from its congeners (in Sri Lanka and the peninsular-India) by the following characters and character states: branched dorsal-fin rays 8; analfin origin on vertical through dorsal-fin origin; dorsal-fin base length 13.1-16.5% SL; uninterrupted P stripe 2 scales wide anteriorly, beginning between verticals through pectoral- and pelvic-fin origins; anterior bars on body are indistinct or absent; interstripes I and I + 1 are narrow, about ¼-? times width of P stripe; lower jaw with mediodorsal band of 2-3 rows of tubercles; rostral barbel 4.1-8.9% HL; body depth 20.4-23.5% SL; the first infraorbital smooth, without process; lateral-line scales 38-46; circumpeduncular scales 15-16 (Ref. 127711).

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=0.00977 (0.00422 - 0.02262), b=3.04 (2.84 - 3.24), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  3.0   ±0.4 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).
