Short description Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal soft rays (total): 12-13; Anal soft rays: 9. Triplophysa tianlinensis is distinguished from all congeners by the following combination of characters: 8-9 branched dorsal-fin rays; 6 branched anal-fin rays; caudal fin forked and with 15-16 branched rays; pectoral fin not elongated; eye degenerated, with a black pigmented, rudimentary orbital spot; absence of scales and pigmentation on body; lateral line complete; cephalic lateralis system with 5 supraorbital, 3+10 infraorbital and 15 preoperculo-mandibular pores; and 0+10 gill rakers on the first gill arch (Ref. 117929).

Biology     Glossary (e.g. epibenthic)

Occurs in a karst cave. Co-exists with a cyprinid fish Sinocyclocheilus tianlinensis Zhou, Zhang, He & Zhou 2004 in a round pool with muddy bottom (Ref. 117929).

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=0.00708 (0.00330 - 0.01518), b=3.00 (2.83 - 3.17), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this Genus-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  3.1   ±0.4 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).
