Dorsal spines (total): 1; Dorsal soft rays (total): 6; Anal soft rays: 12; Vertebrae: 37. Glyptothorax clavatus can be diagnosed from all its congeners by the possession of the following characters: elliptical thoracic adhesive apparatus with a chevron-shaped median depression; striae on the ventral surface of pectoral-fin spine and first pelvic-fin ray absent; dense tuberculation present all over the body; tubercles short triangular-shaped; distinct light cream midlateral stripe running along the entire length of the body and a light cream mid-dorsal stripe; caudal peduncle depth 8.6-10.1% SL; dorsal spine length 17.1-18.8% SL; gill rakers 2+7 on the first branchial; and vertebrae 18+19 (Ref. 97352).

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=0.00813 (0.00371 - 0.01783), b=3.00 (2.82 - 3.18), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this Genus-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  3.1   ±0.4 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilience (Ref. 120179):  Medium, minimum population doubling time 1.4 - 4.4 years (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
