Size / Weight / Age

Maturity: Lm ?  range ? - ? cm
Max length : 9.3 cm SL male/unsexed; (Ref. 11333)

Short description Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal soft rays (total): 24; Anal soft rays: 38; Vertebrae: 66. Two terminal bulbs separated by a long interspace, 2-3 times length of distal bulb. Barbel length increasing with size from 43-60% SL. Relatively long filaments 4, arising together from distal end of distal bulb or from a short stem, with long inclusions as well as rounded bulblets. Distal bulb equal in length to proximal-bulb. Axis of stem with some pigment, but light or unpigmented before proximal bulb; between bulbs pigment noticeably darker at base of distal bulb, forming a spot or small cap. External chevron-shaped or roundish striated areas pigmented or not. Middorsal paired spots between occiput and dorsal-fin origin 8 or 9 (Ref. 11333).

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=0.00302 (0.00117 - 0.00783), b=3.12 (2.89 - 3.35), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  4.0   ±0.7 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilience (Ref. 120179):  High, minimum population doubling time less than 15 months (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
