Short description
Claves de identificación | Morfología | Morfometría
This species is distinguished from its congeners in the Hajar Mountains by the following set of characters, none of them unique: differs from G. barreimiae by absence of orange spot at the upper opercle (vs. presence), with a white dorsal fin tip (vs. presence), and by having the number of gill rakers on the lower limb of the first gill arch, 10-14 (vs. 15-18); differs from G. gallagheri and G. longipinnis by having a strongly mottled flank pattern (vs. almost plain or with slight mottling) and individual or series of orange midlateral flank scales (vs. no orange scales); differs from G. shamal by the absence of a white dorsal-fin tip (vs. presence), orange scales on the flank usually present (vs. usually absent) and by having black dorsal-fin membranes (vs. hyaline, brown, grey, often hyaline in proximal and black on distal portion) (Ref. 122023).
Occurs in isolated falaj irrigation systems and springs in the internal basin north of Wahiba Sands (Ref. 122023).

50 = No PD50 data [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00776 (0.00354 - 0.01702), b=3.04 (2.87 - 3.21), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this Genus-body shape (Ref.
93245).
Resiliencia (Ref.
120179): Alto, población duplicada en un tiempo mínimo inferior a 15 meses (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref.
