Short description Bestämningsnycklar | Morfologi | Morfometri

Mjukstrålar i ryggfenan (totalt) : 7; Mjukstrålar i analfenan: 4. This species is distinguished from its congeners by the following characters: vertebrae 12-14 from first neural spine not including hypural plate (vs. 8-11); it differs from all (except murinus) by having yellowish bars on tip of dorsal and caudal fins; differs from immaculatus and zuanoni by the small yellowish dots covering the body (vs. color pattern uniform, without dots or large white spots, respectively); differs from tocantinensis by having the rounded dorsal profile of snout (vs. snout pointed); differs from murinus by the presence of a bar-shaped eversible opercle with conspicuous odontodes (vs. triangle-shaped opercle not eversible, no conspicuous odontodes) and by the presence of 4 unbranched anal-fin rays (vs. 3) (Ref. 95496).

Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 1.0000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01514 (0.00712 - 0.03216), b=2.97 (2.80 - 3.14), in cm Total Length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Resiliens (Ref. 120179): Hög, lägsta populationsfördubblingstid mindre än 15 månader (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).

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

Price category (Ref. 80766): Unknown.
