Short description Morfología | Morfometría

Espinas dorsales (total): 6 - 7; Radios blandos dorsales (total): 9-10; Espinas anales 1; Radios blandos anales: 9 - 10. Diagnosis: posterior tip of upper jaw extends to vertical level of anterior third, or half, of eye; single row of long, slender, unicuspid setiform teeth on upper jaw, 19-49 teeth on each half (left and right) of upper jaw, separated by median tubercle (Ref. 79590). Upper lip smooth (Ref. 57403, 79590), with an inner longitudinal furrow and a small, median tubercle (fleshy swelling)(Ref. 79590). Median notch in upper lip absent or small (Ref. 79590). 3 pores in preopercular canal; flanks with checker-board arrangement of small, light and dark patches (Ref. 57403, 79590).

Amphidromous endemics living as adults in clearwater streams from the rivers Lobe and Kribi, Southern Cameroon. Also from a stream located above several hundred meter high cascade of Rio Ilady, Bioko Island at an altitude of over 100m (Ref. 92840).

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=0.01000 (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).

Resiliencia (Ref. 120179): Muy bajo, población duplicada en un tiempo mínimo superior a 14 años (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): High to very high vulnerability (73 of 100).
