Short description Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal soft rays (total): 9 - 10. This species is related to Garra namyaensis, G. lissorhynchus, G. paralissorhynchus and G. nambulica. This can be diagnosed by having a rounded snout in dorsal view and snout with minute tubercles, rostral lobe well developed and tubercles not densely distributed or arranged in a regular pattern. This differs from G. dampaensis in having more branched dorsal-fin rays, more branched pelvic-fin rays, fewer branched caudal-fin rays, more lateral-line scale rows and fewer predorsal scale rows, fewer upper transverse scale rows; from G. lissorhynchus by the position of a dark 'W'-shaped band (posterior end of caudal-fin vs. middle of caudal-fin), fewer lateral-line scale rows (31 vs. 34) and fewer predorsal scales (8-10 vs. 13); from G. nambulica in having more branched pelvic-fin rays (8 vs. 6), more pectoral-fin rays (14-15 vs. 12), and fewer predorsal scale rows (8-10 vs. 24); and from G. paralissorhynchus in having more pectoral-fin rays (14-15 vs. 11) and fewer predorsal scales (8-10 vs. 12) (Ref. 96639).

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=0.00955 (0.00451 - 0.02020), b=3.04 (2.86 - 3.22), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
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).
