Short description
Morfologia | Morfometria
Spine dorsali (totale): 0; Spine anali 0; Raggi anali molli: 15 - 18. Body fairly slender, moderately compressed. Snout moderate, a little over 1/2 eye diameter; maxilla moderate, tip bluntly rounded, failing to reach pre-operculum by about 1/4 pupil diameter; gill cover canals of walkeri-type. Anal fin moderate, its origin a little behind base of last dorsal fin ray. A silver stripe along flank, widening to about eye diameter over anal fin.
Occurs in middle and upper reaches of rivers. More data needed.

Estimates based on models
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00537 (0.00253 - 0.01141), b=3.13 (2.96 - 3.30), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref.
93245).
Trophic level (Ref.
69278): 3.2 ±0.4 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilienza (Ref.
120179): Alto, tempo minimo di raddoppiamento della popolazione meno di 15 mesi (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref.
59153): Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
