Etymology: Acrobrycon: Greek, akro = summit, topmost + Greek, bryko = to roar (Ref. 45335); ortii: Named for Guillermo Ortí of The George Washington University, in recognition of his extensive contributions to our knowledge of the evolution of Neotropical freshwater fishes.
Eponymy: Dr Guillermo Ortí is an Argentine evolutionary biologist, whose bachelor’s degree was awarded by the University of Buenos Aires (1981). [...] (Ref. 128868), visit book page.

Short description
Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics
Dorsal soft rays (total): 10. Acrobrycon ortii is distinguished from A. ipanquianus by having the following characters: 19-21 anal-fin rays (vs. 23-27); body depth at the dorsal-fin origin 22.8-37.4% of SL (vs. 49.0-51.2% SL); and the caudal peduncle length relative to the body depth at the dorsal-fin origin 160-230% (vs. 240-440%). It can be diagnosed from A. starnesi in having 19-21 branched anal-fin rays (vs. 22-26), 53-58 perforated lateral-line scales (vs. 61-66), 19-20 horizontal scales rows around the caudal peduncle (vs. 22-26), body depth at the dorsal-fin origin relative to the least interorbital width 90-120% (vs. 70-80%), body depth at the dorsal-fin origin relative to the anal-fin base length 70-90% (vs. 100-120%), and the horizontal eye diameter relative to the least interorbital width 90-110% (vs. 70-80%) (Ref. 94771).

Estimates based on models
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 0.6250 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01413 (0.00635 - 0.03140), b=2.99 (2.80 - 3.18), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref.

Trophic level (Ref.
69278): 3.0 ±0.4 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilience (Ref.

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref.
