Etymology: Pinirampus: Latin, pinna = fin + perhaps Old German, rampf = hook.
More on authors: Spix & Agassiz.

Issue
We have retained the younger name P. pirinampu (Spix & Agassiz) for purposes of stability, there has been virtually no use of P. barbancho since its original description, thus we treat it as a Nomen oblitum.

Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 1.0000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00692 (0.00454 - 0.01053), b=3.13 (3.01 - 3.25), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species & (Sub)family-body (Ref. 93245).

Nivel trófico (Ref. 69278): 4.5 ±0.80 se; based on food items.

Resiliencia (Ref. 120179): Bajo, población duplicada en un tiempo mínimo de 4.5-14 años (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): High to very high vulnerability (72 of 100).

Price category (Ref. 80766): Unknown.

Nutrients (Ref. 124155): Calcium = 59.1 [17.4, 132.1] mg/100g; Iron = 1.35 [0.70, 2.62] mg/100g; Protein = 17.3 [15.3, 19.5] %; Omega3 = 0.442 [0.174, 1.143] g/100g; Selenium = 83.9 [33.3, 186.7] μg/100g; VitaminA = 32.9 [9.8, 111.6] μg/100g; Zinc = 0.849 [0.554, 1.270] mg/100g (wet weight); based on nutrient studies.
