Korte beschrijving Determinatiesleutels | Morfologie | Morfometrie

Dorsale zachte stralen (totaal) : 9; Anale zachte stralen: 22 - 24; Wervels: 31. Astyanax ocotal is distinguished from other congeners in the region by the following characters: head length, 29-33% SL (vs. 22- 28% in A. angustifrons and A. finitimus, to 30% in A. aeneus); anal-fin base length, 26% SL or less (vs. 26% or more in A. aeneus and A. finitimus); lower-limb gill rakers in first arch, 15-16 (vs. 14 or fewer in A. angustifrons and A. finitimus); urohyal, ventral apex closer to caudal end (vs. about equidistant between rostral and caudal ends in A. finitimus); epibranchial III, distal segment straight (vs. curved in A. finitimus); preopercle with divergent canals at angle (vs. canals parallel in A. angustifrons); coracoid with 4-5 interdigitations in suture to cleithrum (vs. 2-3 in A. angustifrons) (Ref. 118583).

Estimates based on models

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

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01096 (0.00493 - 0.02437), b=3.10 (2.93 - 3.27), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this Genus-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trofisch niveau (Ref. 69278): 2.8 ±0.4 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives

Weerstandsvermogen (Ref. 120179): Hoog, minimale populatieverdubbelingstijd minder dan 15 maanden (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
