Short description Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal spines (total): 2 - 3; Dorsal soft rays (total): 6 - 7; Anal spines: 2 - 3; Anal soft rays: 6 - 7. Distinguished from all congeners by the following combination of characters: dorsal and anal fins with seven branched rays; pharyngeal teeth 5-5; narrow caudal peduncle; number of gill rakers 15-22 (mean = 18.4); lateral line scales 44-53 (mean = 49.1); scales on upper transverse line 9-10 (mean = 9.6); scales on lower transverse line 4-6 (mean = 5.5); four diagnostic isozyme loci (IDHP-2*, IDHP-3*, MDH-B* and PEP*) and one unique allele (MDHA* 95) (Ref. 75032).

Occurs in seasonal streams with clear waters, sandy bottoms and prefers slow flowing reaches with abundant aquatic macrophytes (Ref. 75032).

Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.5625 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00724 (0.00358 - 0.01465), b=3.14 (2.98 - 3.30), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 2.9 ±0.1 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 (10 of 100).
