Short description Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal soft rays (total): 10; Anal soft rays: 9; Vertebrae: 28 - 29. Rasboroides pallidus differs from R. vaterifloris and R. nigromarginatus by having dorsal-fin origin 3 (vs. 1) scale-widths behind pelvic-fin origin and body depth of 34.3-37.5 % SL in males, 33.0-36.7 in females (vs. 31.1-32.8 in males and 31.0-31.7 in females of R. vaterifloris, and 28.2-33.0 in males and 26.9-29.1 in females of R. nigromarginatus). It can be differentiated from male R. rohani by having a smaller size of up to 24.6 mm SL (vs. up to 35.5 mm SL), having 1/2 6 1/2 or 1/2 7 1/2 (vs. 1/2 8 1/2) scales in transverse line on body, 20-24 (vs. 25-28) scales in lateral series on body, and 2 (vs. 1) lateral processes to the kinethmoid. Female R. pallidus differs from female R. rohani by possessing a greater eye diameter (39-40 % HL, vs. 29-34) and a greater interorbital width (33-36 % HL, vs. 25- 28) (Ref. 94541).

Biology     Glossary (e.g. epibenthic)

Found in shallow, slow-flowing, densely shaded lowland rain-forested streams with a sandy-silt substrate (Ref. 94541).

Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5625   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00851 (0.00376 - 0.01926), b=3.07 (2.87 - 3.27), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  3.1   ±0.4 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).
