Short description
Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics
Dorsal spines (total): 7; Dorsal soft rays (total): 9; Anal spines: 1; Anal soft rays: 10. Stiphodon aureofuscus can be distinguished by the following characters: pectoral fin with 14-15 rays; second dorsal fin with 9 segmented rays; absence of scales on predorsal in males; 6-8 scales in transverse forward series and 7-9 in transverse back series; typical color pattern of adult males is golden and black with red dorsal fins with a yellow upper margin; in females the anteriormost parts of the dorsal fins and the base of the caudal fin are red (Ref. 105117).
Body shape (shape guide): elongated.
Inhabits clear, high gradient stream with rocky bottom. Occurs on the bottom of the river, perching on rocks, between 100 and 400 m in altitude. Assumed to be amphidromous (Ref. 105117).

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=0.00389 (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).
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).
