Short description
Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics
Dorsal spines (total): 7; Dorsal soft rays (total): 9; Anal spines: 1; Anal soft rays: 10. This species is distinguished by the following characters: the scales extend ventral to second dorsal fin along septum to hypural base, well-developed on caudal peduncle; mostly cycloid scales with a few ctenoid ones along midline; 19 pectoral rays; no conical teeth on lower jaw; spotted midlateral stripe slightly ventral to septum (Ref. 39342).
Collected above a series of waterfalls, together with Sicyopus discordipinnis and Stiphodon birdsong (Ref. 39342).

Estimates based on models
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01122 (0.00514 - 0.02450), b=3.04 (2.87 - 3.21), in cm total length, based on all LWR estimates for this body shape (Ref.
93245).
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).
