Short description
Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics
Dorsal spines (total): 3; Dorsal soft rays (total): 7; Anal spines: 3; Anal soft rays: 5; Vertebrae: 38 - 39. Sinocyclocheilus huizeensis can be distinguished by having the following unique characters: body normal; 70~73 lateral-line scales; 25~33 scales above lateral line; 9~12 scales below lateral line; 40~46 scales around caudal-peduncle; 5~6 gill rakers on the first gill arch; eyes normal, eye diameter 5.4%~7.2% of SL; interorbital width 3.6%~9.7% of SL; nostrils closer to preopercular margin than to snout tip; width between posterior nostrils 5.0%~7.3% of standard length; mouth inferior, its width 7.0%~9.3% of standard length, upper jaw length 7.0%~9.1% of standard length; superior angle of spiracle below level line of superior border of eyes; rostral barbels extending beyond the anterior margin of eyes, but not reaching posterior margin of operculum, maxillary barbels extending almost to posterior margin of preopercular; pectoral-fin length 16.8%~23.6% of standard length; last unbranched ray of dorsal fin thickened and hard, with serrations along posterior edge; 10 pelvic-fin branched rays; pelvic fin long, originating posterior to ventral line of dorsal-fin origin, stretching about 4/5 of the distance between pelvic-fin origin and anal-fin origin, reaching anus; pelvic fin narrow, axillary scales present (Ref. 110204).

Estimates based on models
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01122 (0.00521 - 0.02417), b=3.02 (2.85 - 3.19), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref.
93245).
Trophic level (Ref.
69278): 2.9 ±0.3 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilience (Ref.
120179): High, minimum population doubling time less than 15 months (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref.
59153): Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
