Etymology: Nematocharax: Greek, nemas, -atos = filament + Greek, charax = a marine fish without identification (Ref. 45335); costai: Named for Wilson Costa, notably known for his great contribution in Ichthyology and for his main role in planning the expedition and first to recognize the new species in the field.
Eponymy: Dr Wilson Jose Eduardo Moreira da Costa is a Brazilian biologist and ichthyologist. [...] (Ref. 128868), visit book page.

Description synthétique Clés d'identification | Morphologie | Morphométrie

Vertèbres: 33. Distinguished by having the following unique combination of characters: dorsal, anal and pelvic fins with elongated branched rays; two rows of premaxillary teeth in adults, and an almost complete row of teeth along the free ventral maxillary border. Differs from its unique congener, Nematocharax venustus, by having the following characters: absence of hooks or spinules on dorsal and pelvic-fins (vs. presence); five anal-fin rays with spinules (vs. more than seven rays); presence of a long dark pink horizontal mark on the caudal peduncle (vs. absence); five supraneurals (vs. four or fewer); pelvic-fin filament yellow (vs. pale rosy) (Ref. 93323).

Occurs in sandy bottom fast running water stream, with about 7 m width, 1 m depth and pale brown and turbid water. Found under marginal vegetation (Ref. 93323).

Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.7500 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01445 (0.00683 - 0.03057), b=3.08 (2.90 - 3.26), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Niveau trophique (Ref. 69278): 3.1 ±0.4 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives

Résilience (Ref. 120179): Haut, temps minimum de doublement de population inférieur à 15 mois (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).

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