Short description
Chiavi di identificazione | Morfologia | Morfometria
Spine dorsali (totale) : 7; Raggi dorsali molli (totale) : 8; Spine anali: 1; Raggi anali molli: 8. Distinguished from all other species of the genus by the following combination of characters: D1 VI, D2 I, 8, A I, 8, P 15-16; complete body squamation, lateral line scales 32-33; cephalic lateral-line system: anterior oculoscapular canal much reduced, ending between eyes with or without pores')… (if pore')… is present then a pore ')…' is present too), with pore K (always paired), with pore a and always with pore a'; preopercular canal absent; oculoscapular row z separated in two sections; paired interorbital row p present; eyes large, interorbital space distinctly smaller than eye diameter; coloration of first dorsal fin: adult females with a broad dark band on distal third, adult males with two dark spots (Ref. 26720).
Occurs in freshwater spring and small brook flowing towards nearby lagoons; also in associated wetlands. No biological data available (Ref. 59043). Is threatened due to water abstraction and pollution (Ref. 26100).

Estimates based on models
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00977 (0.00442 - 0.02163), b=3.05 (2.86 - 3.24), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref.
93245).
Trophic level (Ref.
69278): 3.1 ±0.3 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilienza (Ref.
120179): Alto, tempo minimo di raddoppiamento della popolazione meno di 15 mesi (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref.
59153): Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
