Short description Chiavi di identificazione | Morfologia | Morfometria

Vertebre: 40 - 41. Differs from all other species of the genus by the number of cusps on the row of internal premaxilla teeth (3-5 vs. 5-7 except Hemibrycon surinamensis), the number of predorsal scales (10-12 vs.12-17, except Hemibrycon jelskii and Hemibrycon orcesi ), and by postcleithrum 1 much closer to postcleithrum 2 (vs. postcleithrum 1 and 2 clearly separated).

Inhabits clear water with stone and sand substrates (Ref. 77138).

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=0.00813 (0.00372 - 0.01775), b=3.09 (2.90 - 3.28), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 3.0 ±0.4 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).
