Short description Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal spines (total): 7; Dorsal soft rays (total): 8; Anal spines: 1; Anal soft rays: 7; Vertebrae: 26. This species is distinguished from its congeners by the following characters: D2 I,8; A I,7; pectoral fin rays modally 16; longitudinal scale series 25-27 (modally 26); predorsal scales 3-6 (modally 5-6); vertebral count 26. Colouration: in males, the lateral body has 6-7 major patches of irregularly grayish to brownish black marks; cheek blackish brown with four oblique grayish black stripes; the branchiostegal membrane grayish blue without any light spots; first dorsal fin with a broad grayish brown band in the middle, outer margin pinkish orange; pectoral fin base with longitudinal deep brown bar in upper region; caudal fin gray with four vertical rows of brown spots, its base has a short brownish black bar (Ref. 127453).

Collected with hand- and cast-net from shallow-water riffles and front region of pools, at depths of 20-50 cm, with substratum of medium to large pebbles, moderate to fast flowing water (Ref. 127453).

Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = No PD50 data [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00724 (0.00338 - 0.01553), b=3.05 (2.87 - 3.23), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 3.2 ±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).
