Short description
Chiavi di identificazione | Morfologia | Morfometria
Spine dorsali (totale) : 11 - 12; Raggi dorsali molli (totale) : 11 - 12; Spine anali: 3; Raggi anali molli: 8 - 9; Vertebre: 25.
Adults prefer to inhabit fast flowing portions of creeks and rivers, although often found in deep, slow flowing pools. Juveniles stay mostly in riffle habitat. Occurs in clear waters over rocky substrates, often where algae are in abundance. Feeds mainly on filamentous algae that are scraped off rocks with its specially modified teeth (Ref. 119336).

Estimates based on models
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 0.5005 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01288 (0.00590 - 0.02812), b=3.04 (2.86 - 3.22), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref.

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).
