Etymology: Campostoma: Greek, kampe = curved + Greek, stoma = mouth (Ref. 45335); ornatum: Campo=curved and stoma=mouth (in reference to its U-shaped mouth); ornate referring to ornamental coloration of breeding males (Ref. 79012).

Max length : 16.0 cm TL macho / no sexado; (Ref. 86798); common length : 8.3 cm TL macho / no sexado; (Ref. 12193)

Inhabits rocky riffles and adjacent pools of headwaters and creeks (Ref. 86798). Herbivorous, bottom feeder (Contreras-Balderas 1974). Feeds mainly on diatoms, bacteria and algae (Ref. 79012).

Life cycle and mating behavior Madurez | Reproducción | Puesta | Huevos | Fecundidad | Larva

Adult males construct spawning pits by digging into the gravel with their snouts or mouths and remove small pieces of substrate (Ref. 51088, 31216). Mating occurs in the pits afterwhich the eggs are abandoned (Ref. 51087). Males are highly territorial (Ref. 51087). In other occasions, Campostoma species spawn in nests of Nocomis and Semotilus and with each other as nest associates (Ref. 51087). Also Ref. 51089.

Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.5156 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00501 (0.00242 - 0.01036), b=3.11 (2.92 - 3.30), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Resiliencia (Ref. 120179): Medio, población duplicada en un tiempo mínimo de 1.4-4.4 años (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).

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