Short description
Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics
Vertebrae: 32. Distinguished very readily from all its congeners by having much smaller scales (61-68 versus only 30-54 scales in lateral series) and body without any longitudinal stripes whatever. A small but well defined, round, black humeral spot (often ocellated, i.e. surrounded by a pale or clear ring) and a similar midpeduncular spot. Vertebrae fewer than observed in other species of Labiobarbus, 32 (Ref. 7424).
Stomach contents include detritus and insect larvae (Ref. 56749).

Estimates based on models
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 0.5020 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01000 (0.00244 - 0.04107), b=3.04 (2.81 - 3.27), in cm total length, based on all LWR estimates for this body shape (Ref.
93245).
Trophic level (Ref.
69278): 2.4 ±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 (12 of 100).
