Short description Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal soft rays (total): 7; Anal soft rays: 5; Vertebrae: 38. This species is distinguished from its congeners by the following set of characters: anterior and posterior nostrils narrowly separated; lips smooth, with furrows; barbel-like elongation of anterior nostrils longer than depth of nostril tube; presence of body pigmentation; eyes normal, diameter 6.5-17.1% of head length; caudal fin rounded, with irregular black markings; body completely covered with fine scales except for the head; lateral line incomplete, with 14 or 15 pores, last lateral line pore reaching above the tip of pectoral fin; dorsal-fin rays, iii-7; (7) pectoral-fin rays, i-9; anal-fin rays, iii-5; pelvic-fin rays, i-7; 14 branched caudal-fin rays; tip of ventral fin extended backward, not reaching the anus; dorsal fin origin posterior to the pelvic-fin origin; inrostral barbel extending backward and not reaching the anterior margin of the eye; tip of maxillary barbel not reaching the posterior margin of the gill cover; and vertebrae 4 + 34 (Ref. 129327).
Body shape (shape guide): elongated.

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=0.00724 (0.00352 - 0.01491), b=3.01 (2.84 - 3.18), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  2.7   ±0.3 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilience (Ref. 120179):  Medium, minimum population doubling time 1.4 - 4.4 years (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low vulnerability (10 of 100). 🛈
