Etymology: Isogomphodon: iso-, from isos (Gr.), equal; gomphos (Gr.), nail; odon (Gr.), tooth, referring to how teeth are equally fastened, i.e., claviform and straight in both jaws. (See ETYFish);  oxyrhynchus: oxys (Gr.), sharp; rhynchus (L.), snout, referring to its elongated, pointed and narrow snout [authorship often attributed to Müller & Henle, who published Valenciennes’ description]. (See ETYFish).

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 27 - 27.8, mean 27.5 °C (based on 149 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 1.0000   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00468 (0.00218 - 0.01003), b=3.09 (2.92 - 3.26), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  4.5   ±0.80 se; based on food items.
Generation time: 10.0 ( na - na) years. Estimated as median ln(3)/K based on 2 growth studies.
Resilience (Ref. 120179):  Very Low, minimum population doubling time more than 14 years (K=0.11-0.12; tm=5-7; tmax=12; Fec=4).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  High to very high vulnerability (74 of 100).
