Short description Morfologi | Morfometri

Mjukstrålar i analfenan: 159 - 177. Distinguished from all congeners by the following combination of characters: snout strongly curved; head and mid-dorsum as dark as dorsolateral areas; anal and pectoral fins translucent, without conspicuous distal dark margins; scales present along anterodorsal region of body; 6-7 scales above lateral line at mid-body; 159-177 total anal-fin rays; five branchiostegal rays; greatest body depth 9.3-11.4% of length to end of anal fin; snout to anus 58.4-77.6% of length to end of anal fin; pre-pectoral fin length 34.8-41.0% of HL; snout length 57.6-65.4% of HL; head depth at nape 39.7-44.9% of HL; postocular distance 36.9-41.6% of HL; eye diameter 4.1-7.6% of HL; internarial distance 2.7-7.0% of HL; branchial opening 9.5-12.3% of HL; tail length 10.1-17.4% of length to end of anal fin; tail depth 8.3-13.8% of caudal length (Ref. 56955).

Inhabits channel with clear water (Ref. 56955); visibility of approximately 2 m and the pH ranging from 6.6-7.6 (Ref. 84053). Feeds on insects such as chironomids, ephemeropterans and trichopterans (Ref. 56955).

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=0.00355 (0.00145 - 0.00871), b=3.06 (2.85 - 3.27), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trofisk nivå (Ref. 69278): 3.2 ±0.3 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
