Short description Bestämningsnycklar | Morfologi | Morfometri

Taggstrålar i ryggfenan (totalt) : 0; Mjukstrålar i ryggfenan (totalt) : 12 - 14; Taggstrålar i analfenan: 0; Mjukstrålar i analfenan: 9 - 10; Ryggkotor: 37. Diagnosis: 50-53 (Ref. 81638) or 46 (Ref. 26632) scales in lateral line. 6-7 anal fin branched rays; dorsal portions of body with distinct dark, vertically oriented dark marks that form saddle-shaped pigmentation pattern; prominent horizontally elongate, dark spots on mid-lateral surface of body (Ref. 81638).

Found under rocks, in riffles of moderately large rivers (30-50m) in the savannah zone, in areas where there is a strong current (>1m/sec); in all sites where collection took place, there was a rather restricted gallery of shrubs and small trees on the river banks; water was greenish with a transparency of about 50 cm, neutral pH (6.5-7.5), with a high content of dissolved oxygen (6.5-7.5 mg/l) and a rather low conductivity (35-45 µS/cm); water temperatures were between 23 and 25 °C at noon (Ref. 26632).

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00447 (0.00189 - 0.01058), b=3.17 (2.96 - 3.38), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).

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

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