Short description Chiavi di identificazione | Morfologia | Morfometria

Raggi dorsali molli (totale) : 19 - 20; Raggi anali molli: 22 - 23; Vertebre: 34 - 35. This species is differentiated from its congeners in having the following characters: elongated dorsal fins in males; caudal spot diamond-shaped; humeral spot vertically elongated; maxillary teeth hexacuspidate; anal fin rays 22-23; lateral line scales 30-31 (Ref. 72430).

Inhabits shallow, clear water stream located in the Cerrado region; sandy bottom with small rocks and sparse aquatic vegetation (Ref. 72430).

Estimates based on models

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

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01413 (0.00671 - 0.02974), b=3.08 (2.91 - 3.25), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 2.9 ±0.3 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives

Resilienza (Ref. 120179): Alto, tempo minimo di raddoppiamento della popolazione meno di 15 mesi (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).

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