Short description Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal spines (total): 14; Dorsal soft rays (total): 8 - 11; Anal spines: 3; Anal soft rays: 7 - 8; Vertebrae: 25 - 26. Can be diagnosed from other congeners by slightly deeper caudal peduncle (17.6-19.6% SL, vs. 15.6-17.4 % in Krobia itanyi), dark lateral band reaching to end of dorsal-fin base (vs. ending well before in Krobia itanyi), two prominent dark interorbital stripes (vs. faint or obsolete in Krobia itanyi, absent in Krobia guianensis), slightly curved suborbital stripe (vs. straight); presence of dark brown spot anterolaterally on each side of the lower jaw (vs. absence) (Ref. 89398).

Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.5625 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.02692 (0.01189 - 0.06092), b=3.03 (2.84 - 3.22), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 3.3 ±0.4 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives

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