Short description Chiavi di identificazione | Morfologia | Morfometria

Spine dorsali (totale) : 1; Raggi dorsali molli (totale) : 5; Raggi anali molli: 9 - 10; Vertebre: 31 - 32. Diagnosed by the following characters: space between anterior nostril and base of nasal barbel about equal to nostril diameter; anterior and posterior nostrils relatively small (diameter less than that of eye); anterior nostril located at end of short tube; jaws subequal (lip of upper jaw projecting past lower jaw); caudal fin emarginate (not strongly forked); eye dorsolateral, not protruding above head when viewed from side; large depression below eye; posterior edge of pectoral spine with three small serrae (much less than half width of spine); and top of head flat, lacking conspicuous concavity and bony ridges (Ref. 75761).

Inhabits small patch of vegetation in a sandy run in a sand- and gravel-bottomed, clear river with an average width of about 30 m (Ref. 75761).

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=0.00389 (0.00180 - 0.00842), b=3.12 (2.94 - 3.30), in cm total length, based on all LWR estimates for this body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 3.3 ±0.6 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives

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