Description synthétique Clés d'identification | Morphologie | Morphométrie

This species has the following characters: pigmented body; functional eyes; dorsal fin base 10.2-13.4% of SL; origin of adipose fin posterior to the anus; maxillary barbels extend to a point between the pectoral-fin origin and that of the pelvic fin (Ref. 108688).

Typical in highland brooks and in rivers or creeks of moderate to high current velocity, found between 35 and 1350 m elevation. Lives on sand and stone bottoms where it feeds on aquatic insects (Ref. 36880) and in caves (Ref. 27297).

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=0.01000 (0.00554 - 0.01806), b=3.03 (2.88 - 3.18), in cm Total Length, based on LWR estimates for this species & (Sub)family-body (Ref. 93245).

Niveau trophique (Ref. 69278): 3.7 ±0.4 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives

Résilience (Ref. 120179): Très faible, temps minimum de doublement de population supérieur à 14 ans (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low to moderate vulnerability (26 of 100).
