Short description
Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics
Diagnosis: This species is distinguished from its congeners by the combination of following characters: 44-46 scales in lateral line, 9.5 scales above lateral line; width of the last single ray of the dorsal fin more than 10% of its height; denticulations of the last single ray of the dorsal fin sparsely serrated, 20-21 denticulations in adults; weak pharyngeal teeth; a narrow lachrymal manubrium; a narrow ethmoid bone; a narrow kinethmoid bone; and caudal peduncle is short and high, anal peduncle length is less than 2 times the body least depth (Ref. 107618).
Found in rivers (Ref. 2801).

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=0.01000 (0.00244 - 0.04107), b=3.04 (2.81 - 3.27), in cm total length, based on all LWR estimates for this 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 (11 of 100).
