Short description Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal soft rays (total): 10-11; Anal soft rays: 8; Vertebrae: 35. Schistura mizoramensis is distinguished from its congeners from Ganges-Brahmaputra basin and its adjacent basin by the following characters: a unique color pattern consisting of a prominent dark brown longitudinal stripe along midlateral line from upper edge of gill opening to middle of caudal-fin base; a dark brown stripe on the dorsal midline from dorsal-fin origin to dorsal part of caudal-fin base; a network of bars which reduce the light yellowish ground color to isolated spots on the flanks and predorsal region of dorsum; 3-4 postdorsal bars posterior to anal-fin origin extending beyond lateral line and coalesce ventrally (Ref. 98821).

Biology     Glossary (e.g. epibenthic)

Inhabits slow flowing water with a substrate of sand, gravel and rocks. Occurs in association with Glyptothorax maceriatus, Garra cf. annandalei and Schistura cf. fasciata (Ref. 98821).

Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5000   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00692 (0.00311 - 0.01538), b=3.02 (2.85 - 3.19), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this Genus-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  3.0   ±0.3 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilience (Ref. 120179):  Medium, minimum population doubling time 1.4 - 4.4 years (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
