Short description Claves de identificación | Morfología | Morfometría

Two terminal bulbs separated by a long interspace, 0.6-1.8 times the length of distal bulb. Barbel length 76-92% SL. Short filaments 5-9 (less than 6% SL) without prominent bulblets, arising together from distal bulb or from a short distal stem; 1 filament thicker and longer than the rest. Some or all filaments with pigmented axes. Distal bulb long about twice as long as wide, with almost straight, parallel margins,1.5-2.5 times proximal-bulb length. Axis of stem and between bulbs with or without pigment; a black spot at proximal end of distal bulb in those with pigment. External chevron-shaped or roundish striated areas on stem unpigmented. Middorsal paired spots between occiput and dorsal-fin origin 8 (Ref. 11333).

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 11.6 - 17, mean 14.9 °C (based on 27 cells).

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00302 (0.00117 - 0.00783), b=3.12 (2.89 - 3.35), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Nivel trófico (Ref. 69278): 4.2 ±0.8 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives

Resiliencia (Ref. 120179): Alto, población duplicada en un tiempo mínimo inferior a 15 meses (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).

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