Korte beschrijving Determinatiesleutels | Morfologie | Morfometrie

Anale zachte stralen: 227 - 255. Electric organ present along caudal filament and along body above anal fin exceedingly deep and visible as large semi-translucent area, occupying approximately 14-17% body depth directly posterior to abdominal cavity; and monophasic, headpositive electric organ discharge (EOD) waveform, approximately 2.1 milliseconds in duration in both sexes at 25°C (Ref. 94132).

Facultative air-breathing in the genus (Ref. 126274); Usually found in floating meadow habitats on the margins of the Amazonas/Solimões River and its tributaries. Often collected with Brachyhypopomus walteri (Ref. 94132).

Estimates based on models

Fylogenetische diversiteitsindex (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00380 (0.00145 - 0.00994), b=3.06 (2.83 - 3.29), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trofisch niveau (Ref. 69278): 3.2 ±0.4 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low vulnerability (13 of 100).
