Teleostei (teleosts) > Cyprinodontiformes (Rivulines, killifishes and live bearers) > Rivulidae (Rivulines) > Cynolebiinae
Etymology: Cynolebias: Greek, kyon = dog + Greek, odous = teeth + Greek, lebias = a kind of small fish (Ref. 45335);  rectiventer: Dervied from the Latin rectus, meaning straight, and venter, meaning belly. This is in reference to the straight ventral profile of the body in males, a condition unique in Cynolebias..

Environment: milieu / climate zone / depth range / distribution range Ecology

Short description Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal soft rays (total): 15-20; Anal soft rays: 18 - 21; Vertebrae: 35 - 37. Cynolebias rectiventer can be diagnosed from all species of C. perforatus group by the following characters: contact organs restricted to the seven uppermost rays of the pectoral fin in males (vs. contact organs on all rays); ventral process on the autopalatine present (vs. absent); scales absent on the base of the dorsal fin (vs. present); gill rakers slightly curved (vs. bowed); denticles situated on the gill-raker margin (vs. on the entire region); less than one third of caudal fin anteriorly covered by scales (vs. more than one third). It also differs from all congeners by having approximately straight lateral profile of the abdominal region in males (vs. convex) (Ref. 97357).

Biology     Glossary (e.g. epibenthic)

Found in two adjacent and shallow temporary lagoons of about 1.0 m deep with an area of about 5 km2, within a small farm for cattle breeding, and with sparse aquatic vegetation. Collected close to the lagoon bottom (Ref. 97357).

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=0.00891 (0.00396 - 0.02008), b=3.14 (2.94 - 3.34), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  3.3   ±0.4 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).
