Short description Claves de identificación | Morfología | Morfometría

Espinas dorsales (total) : 14 - 15; Radios blandos dorsales (total) : 14 - 16; Espinas anales: 3; Radios blandos anales: 7 - 9; Vértebra: 28 - 29. Diagnosis: 37-40 lateral line scales; terminal canal bearing scales of upper branch do not descend scale rows; 2 series of scales between upper lateral line and anterior part of lower; 15-17 gill-rakers along lower limb of first arch; entire premaxillary oral valve; 28 vertebrae; inferior vertebral apophysis of standard Tylochromis type; lower pharyngeal jaw never extremely robust with mill-like molariform teeth extending over dentigerous surface; 10-15 relatively stout outer row teeth and usually only one inner row on lower jaw (Ref. 52346).

Benthic macrophage (Ref. 52346). Mainly feeds on plants and insect larvae; maternal mouthbrooder that does not pair-bond (Ref. 52307).

Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01000 (0.00244 - 0.04107), b=3.04 (2.81 - 3.27), in cm Total Length, based on all LWR estimates for this body shape (Ref. 93245).

Nivel trófico (Ref. 69278): 2.6 ±0.26 se; based on food items.

Resiliencia (Ref. 120179): Alto, población duplicada en un tiempo mínimo inferior a 15 meses (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low vulnerability (18 of 100).
