Short description Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal spines (total): 7 - 8; Dorsal soft rays (total): 8 - 10; Anal spines: 1; Anal soft rays: 10. Second dorsal fin with 9 segmented rays, first dorsal din with spines 3 and 4 filamentous in males; pectoral fin usually with 14 rays; scales extend ventral to first dorsal fin and usually widely spaced anteriorly; predorsal midline usually naked in males and with few cycloid scales anterior to first dorsal fin origin in females; rakers absent from inner edge of outer gill arch; males with a dusky ring on pelvic disk, dorsal to midline and on caudal peduncle with 2 to 4 rows of whitish spots; females with dusky lateral bands, not blackish.

Occurs in clear, swift streams, sometimes close to the sea. Collected also above a waterfalls.

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=0.01122 (0.00514 - 0.02450), b=3.04 (2.87 - 3.21), in cm total length, based on all LWR estimates for this 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).
