Short description Chiavi di identificazione | Morfologia | Morfometria

Raggi dorsali molli (totale) : 10 - 13; Raggi anali molli: 8 - 11. Small maxillary barbels; body depth 2.5-2.7 times in SL (Ref. 43281).

In subfamily Acheilognathinae (Genera Acheilognathus and Rhodeus ), female possesses an ovipositor which is used for depositing eggs inside the bivalves. Juveniles hatch and stay in the bivalve until they can swim (Ref. 43281).

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=0.01000 (0.00452 - 0.02213), b=3.10 (2.92 - 3.28), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this Genus-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 2.2 ±0.1 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives

Resilienza (Ref. 120179): Medio, tempo minimo di raddoppiamento della popolazione 1.4 - 4.4 anni (Assuming Fec < 10,000).

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