Short description
Claves de identificación | Morfología | Morfometría
Body deep and compressed; caudal peduncle long, extremely slender; fins falcate; caudal fin large, forked; angle along anal fin base continues along upper edge of caudal fin. Large-sized individuals possess large, nearly scaleless hump behind small, depressed head; mouth subterminal, extending to front of small eye; 73-90 scales on lateral line; usually 9 dorsal rays; 10 anal rays; pharyngeal teeth 2,5-4.2. Dark olive-gray above, silver side (Ref. 86798).
Inhabits swift, rocky runs and flowing pools. The hump at the back of the head directs fish to maintain position in the swift water (Ref. 86798).
