Short description Morfologia | Morfometria

Spine dorsali (totale): 7; Raggi dorsali molli (totale): 11; Spine anali 1; Raggi anali molli: 10; Vertebre: 25. Diagnosis: This species differs from all congeners in possessing the following characters: a broad, darkly pigmented, midlateral band on the posterior half of the body, which extends onto the base of the caudal fin; numerous small dark (brownish) spots on the posterior half of the body, dorsal and ventral to this midlateral band; numerous small dark spots on the second dorsal fin; second dorsal, anal, caudal, and pectoral fins with light-colored (whitish to yellow) distal margins; second dorsal fin has one weak spine and 11 branched rays; lateral cleft in the upper lip markedly expanded dorsally; and scales on the nape and abdomen similar in size to scales on the sides of the body (Ref. 54347).

Collected from clear, swift-flowing streams and rivers (Ref. 54347).

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=0.01122 (0.00514 - 0.02450), b=3.04 (2.87 - 3.21), in cm total length, based on all LWR estimates for this body shape (Ref. 93245).

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).
