Description synthétique Clés d'identification | Morphologie | Morphométrie

Rayons mous dorsaux (Total) : 10 - 11; Vertèbres: 32 - 34. Priocharax nanus can be distinguished from its congeners (P. ariel and P. pygmaeus) by having i,6 pelvic-fin rays (vs. i,5), a claustrum (vs. claustrum absent) and two postcleithra (vs. postcleithra absent). It can be further diagnosed from P. ariel by having 9-10 gill rakers on the lower limb of the first branchial arch (vs. 11-13), caudal peduncle length 13.5-16.8 % SL (vs. 18.1- 23.7 % SL); and 21-26 branched anal-fin rays (vs. 16-21) (Ref. 96862).

Collected in the black acidic waters of the Rio Negro basin around the submerged vegetation at depths of about 1 m or less and from an area exposed to the sun in warm, shallow water, approximately 50 cm deep (Ref. 96862).

Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.6250 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00661 (0.00301 - 0.01449), b=3.11 (2.93 - 3.29), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Niveau trophique (Ref. 69278): 3.0 ±0.5 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives

Résilience (Ref. 120179): Haut, temps minimum de doublement de population inférieur à 15 mois (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).

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