Short description Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal soft rays (total): 15 - 25; Anal soft rays: 19 - 24; Vertebrae: 28 - 30. Caudal peduncle of female with black spots. Male's anal fin with gray to black distal stripe; unpaired fins dark bluish gray; basihyal broad, 70-95% in length; conspicuous contact organs on scales of body sides. Second pharyngobranchial teeth, 5-10. Dorsal-fin rays 21-25 in male, 15-20 in female; anal-fin rays 22-24 in male, 19-23 in female; caudal-fin rays 23-36, caudal fin subtruncate in male, rounded in female (Ref. 49550).

Bottom spawner, 4 months. Is very difficult to maintain in aquarium (Ref. 27139).

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=0.01995 (0.00906 - 0.04395), b=3.01 (2.83 - 3.19), in cm total length, based on all LWR estimates for this body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 3.2 ±0.4 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives

Resilience (Ref. 120179): High, minimum population doubling time less than 15 months (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).

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

Price category (Ref. 80766): Unknown.

Hypsolebias antenori (Tulipano, 1973)
