Etymology: Nannocharax:Latin, nannus = small + Greek, charax = a marine fish without identification (Ref. 45335); hadros:The specific name is derived from the Greek adjective 'hadros', meaning well-developed, strong, great, bulky and refers to its large maximum size, exceeding that of its currently known congeners (Ref. 127100).
Environment: milieu / climate zone / depth range / distribution range 生態学
背面の脊椎 (合計): 0; 背鰭 (合計): 13-14; 肛門の骨 0; 臀鰭: 8 - 9; 脊つい: 32 - 33. Diagnosis: Nannocharax hadros is distinguished from all its congeners by the possession of a completely pored lateral line vs. incompletely in N. angolensis, N. dageti, N. hastatus, N. lineostriatus, N. machadoi, N. minutus, N. monardi, N. multifasciatus, N. ocellicauda, N. rubensteini, N. uniocellatus and N. wittei; 37-43 lateral line scales vs. fewer scales in N. ogoensis (36) and N. pteron (35), and more scales in N. elongatus (52-57), N. intermedius (46-55), N. lineomaculatus (47-53), N. luapulae (49-55), N. macropterus (45-47), N. maculicauda (55-61), N. niloticus (50-55), N. occidentalis (50-56), N. reidi (46-48), N. rubrolabiatus (45-50), and N. signifer (46-48); 14-16 circumpeduncular scales, vs. 12 in N. altus and N. schoutedeni; 11-12 scales between the dorsal and adipose fins, vs. 9-10 in N. brevis, and 8-9 in N. seyboldi (Ref. 127100). In N. hadros, the dorsal-fin origin is situated well behind the pelvic-fin origin, vs. origin situated anterior to pelvic-fin origin in N. ansorgii, N. fasciolaris, N. gracilis, N. hollyi, N. latifasciatus, N. micros, and N. taenia or at the same level as the pelvic-fin origin in N. fasciatus; Nannocharax hadros has the tip of the longest pectoral-fin ray extending beyond the vertical through the insertion of the pelvic fin, vs. not reaching the pelvic-fin insertion in N. parvus, and a large distance between the posterior margin of the anus and the insertion of first anal-fin ray, 5.5-8.4% of standard length vs. 0.9-1.9% in N. usongo and 2.2-3.8% in N. zebra; it is most similar to N. procatopus and can be distinguished from it by a higher number of pectoral-fin rays, 16-17 vs. 12-15, respectively, a deeper body at the anal-fin origin, 15.5-19.3% of standard length vs. 10.9-15.0%, respectively, and a smaller internostril distance, 11-16% of head length vs. 17-23%, respectively (Ref. 127100).
Found in a shallow water zone with a high current over the rocky substrate (Ref. 127100)
