Short description Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal spines (total): 2; Dorsal soft rays (total): 7; Anal spines: 1; Anal soft rays: 4. Small spots on the head with spots becoming very large on the caudal peduncle and caudal fin; body very elongated; odontodes on opercle absent, rarely with one or two odontodes in adults (Ref. 50590).

Facultative air-breathing in the genus (Ref. 126274); Found in medium to large rivers among boulders, usually in runs and riffles. Small individuals may be found hidden in the holes of lateritic rocks in pools and most specimens were collected at night. The largest individual was captured in a gill net in the main stem Essequibo and this individual apeared to be moving from deeper water into the shallows where there were exposed boulders (Ref. 50590).

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=0.01413 (0.00768 - 0.02598), b=2.99 (2.84 - 3.14), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species & (Sub)family-body (Ref. 93245).

Resilience (Ref. 120179): Medium, minimum population doubling time 1.4 - 4.4 years (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low vulnerability (14 of 100).
