Short description Chiavi di identificazione | Morfologia | Morfometria

Raggi dorsali molli (totale) : 12; Raggi anali molli: 10; Vertebre: 35 - 36. Presence of eight to ten midlateral round dark blotches and 20-40 smaller ones forming one or two irregular series above and two or three irregular series below midlateral blotches; dental formula 3/4, sub-inferior to inferior mouth; 37 to 38 lateral line scales; 4/3-4 transversal series of scales; 12 circumpeduncular scale series; and head length 20.9-23.6, mean 22.3% SL (Ref. 80699). Diagnosis: Dorsal fin ii, 10; Anal fin ii,8; Pectoral fin i,13, 14, 15 or 16; Pelvic fin i,8 (Ref. 80699).

Adults occur in clear water streams, near waterfalls or in a cofferdam just above a waterfall (Ref. 80699). Distinct pairs breed on densely grown weedy places (Ref. 205).

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=0.00776 (0.00356 - 0.01695), b=3.05 (2.88 - 3.22), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this Genus-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 2.5 ±0.1 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).
