Comments: Found only in upper Rio Tiquié basin, a tributary of the Rio Uaupés in the upper Rio Negro basin, Amazonas. Widely distributed in the upper Rio Tiquié, occurring above large waterfalls such as the Cachoeira do Caruru, Cachoeira da Pedra Curta, and Cachoeira Comprida. Reported by Tukano and Tuyuka fishermen to occur all along the upper Rio Tiquié (Ref. 75965).

Descrição suscinta Chaves de identificação | Morfologia | Morfometria

Raios dorsais (total) : 10; Raios anais : 21 - 23; Vértebras: 38. Distinguished from all other species of Knodus by the presence of thickened skin forming folds covering the basal portion of the six anteriormost branched anal-fin rays and its interradial membrane. Differs also uniquely among its congeners by having the six anteriormost branched rays associated with more developed skin considerably thicker than that on the remaining anal-fin rays. Can be differentiated also from all congeners, except Knodus meridae, by the low number of branched anal-fin rays (14-16 vs. more than 17), by the presence of relatively compressed teeth (vs. teeth bulky in remaining Knodus and Bryconamericus species, with the exception of Bryconamericus deuteronoides), and the presence of a broad, silvery-gray midlateral stripe (midlateral stripe in remaining Knodus and Bryconamericus species relatively narrow) (Ref. 75965).

Found only in areas of moderate to strong current and present even in the torrential flow of waterfalls. Juveniles measuring up to 2.4 cm SL occur at sandbars marginal to waterfall pools. Feeds only on Chironomidae larvae based on 3 stomach contents (Ref. 75965).

Estimates based on models

Índice de diversidade filogenética (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).

Nível Trófico (Ref. 69278): 3.0 ±0.4 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives

Resiliência (Ref. 120179): Elevada, tempo mínimo de duplicação da população menor que 15 meses (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).

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