Short description Claves de identificación | Morfología | Morfometría

Espinas dorsales (total) : 20 - 21; Radios blandos dorsales (total) : 7 - 8; Espinas anales: 3; Radios blandos anales: 6 - 7; Vértebra: 28 - 29. Diagnosis: relatively deep-bodied species with a steep, straight forehead (Ref. 42983, 52307) and short snout (Ref. 52307). Very flat gibbosity, most pronounced in adult males; lower pharyngeal bone with 151 teeth (mean value); usually 5 broad gill rakers on lower limb of first arch (Ref. 42983).

Biología     Glosario (por ej. epibenthic)

Inhabits clear flowing water with rocks, in river pools; found in small groups, up to 20 individuals (Ref. 42983). Likely a pair-bonding, cave-spawning species (Ref. 52307).

Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5020   [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):  3.3   ±0.4 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resiliencia (Ref. 120179):  Alto, población duplicada en un tiempo mínimo inferior a 15 meses (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
