Issue
called Crossocheilus siamensis as Crossocheilus atrilimes. Cf. Kottelat, M., 2000 Ref. 36949. Hence the reference is to Crossocheilus atrilimes in reality. Ref. 12693 refers to Crossocheilus atrilimes too and probably to the following species in reality. There is no reference to the genuine Epalzeorhynchos siamensis alias Crossocheilus siamensis except Smith, 1931

Short description Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics

Vertebrae: 22 - 24. With broad lateral stripe along the body; lateral stripe extending onto middle rays of caudal fin; 8-9 predorsal scales; rostral barbels only (Ref. 12693); 2-3 scale rows between anus and anal fin origin (Ref. 43281).

Usually occurs in hill streams or near rapids, in clear, fast flowing water (Ref. 43281). Found at bottom depths of rivers and streams. Microphagous, feeding on periphyton and phytoplankton (Ref. 12693).

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=0.00813 (0.00377 - 0.01751), b=3.05 (2.87 - 3.23), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 2.0 ±0.00 se; based on food items.

Resilience (Ref. 120179): High, minimum population doubling time less than 15 months (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).

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

Price category (Ref. 80766): Unknown.
