Short description Bestämningsnycklar | Morfologi | Morfometri

Mjukstrålar i ryggfenan (totalt) : 8 - 9; Mjukstrålar i analfenan: 16 - 21. This species is distinguished from all its congeners from the Iguaçu basin by the following set of characters: infraorbital 3 not in contact with pre-opercle, leaving a naked area corresponding to approximately 1/5-1/4 the height of infraorbital 3; premaxillary external series with 2-5, usually 4 tricuspid teeth; non-symphysal teeth in premaxillary internal series with 5 cusps forming an arch in ventral view; maxillary with 0-3, usually 1 tooth; faint, narrow and elongate vertical humeral bar present (Ref. 85756).

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=0.01230 (0.00700 - 0.02163), b=3.10 (2.95 - 3.25), in cm Total Length, based on LWR estimates for this species & Genus-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trofisk nivå (Ref. 69278): 2.8 ±0.4 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives

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

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