Short description Chiavi di identificazione | Morfologia | Morfometria

Raggi dorsali molli (totale) : 8 - 10; Raggi anali molli: 12 - 14. Belongs to the subgenus Melanorivulus by having all the subgeneric synapomorphic characters: short and pointed dorsal portion of preopercle; melanophores concentrated on opercular region to form oblique stripes; melanophores concentrated on margins of unpaired fins in females; black spot on upper portion of caudal-fin base not close to fin margin in females. Differs from all other species of Melanorivulus by the following characters: lack or extreme reduction of pelvic fins and pelvic girdle; vomerine teeth 5-7; and basihyal width about 70% basihyal length (Ref. 75171).

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).
