Kurzbeschreibung Bestimmungsschlüssel | Morphologie | Morphometrie

Rückenflossenstacheln (insgesamt) : 6 - 8; Rückenflossenweichstrahlen (insgesamt) : 10 - 12; Afterflossenstacheln: 1; Afterflossenweichstrahlen: 16 - 20. This species has a distinct colour pattern with a blue-black mid-lateral band and orange margins on vertical rows (Ref. 44137).

This species is found in moderate to fast flowing water, in sections of stream with deep pools separated by short runs; its substrate consists of cobbles and boulders with little fine sediment. Reported to be co-oocurring frequently with purple spotted gudgeons (Mogurnda adspersa), long finned eels (Anguilla reinhardtii) and less commonly with blue-eyes (Psuedomugil signifer), roman nosed gobbies (Awaous acritosis), swamp eels (Ophisternon sp.), grunters (Hephaestus sp.) and exotic guppies (Poecilia reticulata)(Ref. 44137).

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).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 2.9 ±0.4 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives

Widerstandsfähigkeit (Ref. 120179): hoch, Verdopplung der Population dauert weniger als 15 Monate. (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
