Short description Chiavi di identificazione | Morfologia | Morfometria

Spine dorsali (totale) : 4 - 6; Raggi dorsali molli (totale) : 53 - 55; Spine anali: 3; Raggi anali molli: 47 - 51; Vertebre: 73 - 76. Belongs to the Macrognathus aculeatus species group but can be distinguished from all other Asian mastacembelids by having only 4-6 spines on dorsal fin (vs. 11-40). Differs further from all members of the Macrognathus aculeatus species group by having only 6-8 rostral tooth plates (vs. 9 in Macrognathus meklongensis to 55 in Macrognathus tapirus) and the details of color pattern (Ref. 83418).

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=0.00282 (0.00130 - 0.00610), b=2.96 (2.78 - 3.14), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this Genus-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 3.2 ±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).
