Short description Chiavi di identificazione | Morfologia | Morfometria

Raggi dorsali molli (totale) : 8 - 11; Raggi anali molli: 9 - 11; Vertebre: 25 - 27. In breeding males dorsal fin dusky to black, not yellow or orange; band on caudal fin narrow (narrower that eye-diameter) and often diffuse or absent; first dorsal fin ray thickened and spikelike; ocellus usually well developed in dorsal fin of females, no anal fin ocellus; breast fully scaled; modally 10 dorsal and anal fin rays; 7 pelvic fin rays, 25-28 (mode 26) scales in lateral line and modally 26 vertebrae (Ref. 43452).

Biologia     Glossario (es. epibenthic)

Occurs in springs, ciénegas, shorelines and cutoff channels of rivers and creeks, even colonizing ephemeral canals and ditches along roadsides (Ref. 43452). Distinct pairing during breeding. (Ref. 205). Demersal eggs with adhesive threads (Ref. 205).

Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Fonte Biblio. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5000   [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).
Trophic level (Fonte Biblio. 69278):  2.6   ±0.1 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low vulnerability (10 of 100). 🛈
