Short description Chiavi di identificazione | Morfologia | Morfometria

Distinguished from similar species Cinostomus funduloides by having longer, more pointed snout, more slender body, brighter (carmine) red on lower side in adults; smaller (59-75 lateral) scales. Breeding male possess steel blue above, yellow-gold stripe along side, bright red on lower side (Ref. 86798).

Inhabits rocky and sandy pools of headwaters, creeks and small rivers. Largest populations occurs in clear, spring-fed streams (Ref. 86798).

Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.7500 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00501 (0.00232 - 0.01084), b=3.13 (2.94 - 3.32), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 3.2 ±0.40 se; based on food items.

Generation time: 2.8 ( na - na) years. Estimated as median ln(3)/K based on 1 growth studies.

Resilienza (Ref. 120179): Medio, tempo minimo di raddoppiamento della popolazione 1.4 - 4.4 anni (tmax=4).

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low to moderate vulnerability (30 of 100).
