Short description
Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics
Predorsal scales sexually dimorphic in number: male with 5-11 and female with 8-16; slightly embedded cycloid scales present on belly. Male with a triangular-shaped first-dorsal fin with
third and/or fourth spines longest but not filamentous and a patch of white fatty tissue posterior to pectoral-fin base. Female usually with 5 (4-5) dusky to blackish blotches or spots along lateral midline from second-dorsal fin with usually 4 (3-4) posterior-most spots positioned close together on caudal peduncle, dusky band extending from anterior to eye to upper hypural base usually indistinct posterior to pectoral-fin base, with or without a dusky or black gular blotch, and in some females xanthism exists which fades in preservation and in life yellow with orange to bright red markings (Ref. 74937).
Stiphodon carisa is collected over gravel in a wide, shallow medium-sized river with gravel riffles and sandy runs (Ref. 74937).

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).
