Korte beschrijving Determinatiesleutels | Morfologie | Morfometrie

Dorsale stekels (totaal) : 0; Dorsale zachte stralen (totaal) : 7; Anale stekels: 0; Anale zachte stralen: 9 - 10. Diagnosis: dorsal-fin base distinctly ahead of pelvic-fin insertions; predorsal distance rather short (about 40% of standard length); interorbital space about 35% of head length; caudal-peduncle length 1.5-2 times its depth; length of maxillary barbel over 75% of head length; snout rather long and blunt, its length usually 50-55% of head length; branchiostegal membrane moderately notched on midventral line (Ref. 57128).

Estimates based on models

Fylogenetische diversiteitsindex (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5000   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00447 (0.00173 - 0.01152), b=3.09 (2.87 - 3.31), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trofisch niveau (Ref. 69278):  3.0   ±0.3 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Weerstandsvermogen (Ref. 120179):  Gemiddeld, minimale populatieverdubbelingstijd 1,4-4,4 jaar (Assuming Fec < 10,000).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
