Etymology: Oryzias: Greek, oryza = rice; because of the habitat used by this fish (Ref. 45335); sakaizumii: Named for Dr. Mitsuru Sakaizumi, a molecular geneticist at Niigata University, who pioneered in and contributed to the field of molecular phylogenetic study of Japanese ricefishes..

Short description Bestämningsnycklar | Morfologi | Morfometri

Oryzias sakaizumii is distinguished from all other congeners including O. latipes that are distributed throughout east Asia by the following combination of characters: distribution of melanophores, dense network of melanophores along each scale margin on the body surface in both sexes; depth of notch in membrane between dorsal-fin rays 5 and 6 less than half the length of rays in males; distinctive irregular black spots on the posterior portion of body lateral; and several silvery scales in patches on the posterior portion of the body (Ref. 89067).

Occurs in ponds, marshes, and streams, such as irrigation canals amid paddy fields in flat alluvial lowlands. Well adapted to aquatic life on temporary floodplain wetlands (Ref. 89067).

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=0.00479 (0.00190 - 0.01207), b=3.13 (2.91 - 3.35), in cm Total Length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trofisk nivå (Ref. 69278): 3.4 ±0.4 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives

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