Short description Chiavi di identificazione | Morfologia | Morfometria

Distinguished by the unique color pattern on the flank in males, with red marks variable in shape, highly overlapped (vs. never a similar color pattern), and caudal fn with dark gray stripe posterior to caudal spot in females (vs. stripe absent). Also distinguished from all other members of the R. punctatus group by the combination of the following features: frontal squamation F-patterned (vs. E-patterned), flank with striking iridescent colors in male, contrasting metallic blue to greenish blue on middle of flank with light purplish blue above anal fin and brownish golden on anterior dorsolateralportion of body (vs. never a similar color pattern), no distinctive dark stripe along midline of flank (vs. stripe present); red bars on caudal fin in males (vs. bars absent).

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=0.00661 (0.00311 - 0.01404), b=3.09 (2.91 - 3.27), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  3.1   ±0.4 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).
