Short description Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal fin with 8 1/2 branched rays; presence of conspicuous pad on tip of snout overhanging mouth; body with 13-17 dark brown transverse bars; pectoral fin reaches midway to base of pelvic, the latter just reaches anus or a little beyond; anus situated nearer to anal fin than to origin of pelvic fin; mouth semicircular, situated a little behind the snout; upper lip thin, moderately hypertrophied, a pad-like structure in the middle; body covered with scales except hear, but more sparsely between pectoral fins; scales minute, oval-shaped with large focus (Ref. 42975).

Inhabits streams with pebbly bottom (Ref. 41236).

Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.5312 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00871 (0.00376 - 0.02016), b=3.01 (2.81 - 3.21), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 2.9 ±0.3 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).

Neonoemacheilus assamensis (Menon, 1987)
