Short description
Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics
Dorsal spines (total): 3; Dorsal soft rays (total): 7; Anal spines: 3; Anal soft rays: 8. Snout broadly obtuse; lower jaw over hanging lower jaw; maxilla reaching to slightly beyond
anterior margin of eye; 3rd suborbital half as deep as uncovered part of cheek below; dorsal commencing midway between nasal opening and caudal base; three outer pectoral rays strongly thickened, margin of pectoral fin notched at 3rd outer ray and next three rays bounded by a thick membrane in males; 4-5 rows of scales between lateral line and base of pelvic fin; 9-10 short lateral bars, not extending beyond dark coloration of back; and predorsal scales 29 (Ref. 93114).
Occurs in terrestrial streams with very cold water and stony and rocky bed (Ref. 93114).

Estimates based on models
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01995 (0.00906 - 0.04395), b=3.01 (2.83 - 3.19), in cm total length, based on all LWR estimates for this body shape (Ref.
93245).
Trophic level (Ref.
69278): 3.3 ±0.4 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).
