Short description Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal soft rays (total): 11; Anal soft rays: 8. Can be distinguished by the following diagnostic characters: extremely long upper lobe of caudal fin relative to lower lobe; adipose keel developed as high and long ridge, extending anteriorly almost to posterior margin of dorsal-fin base; very closely aligned lateral bars on body, numbering more than 22 (22-26); body scaled; vertebrae 4+41- 42 (Ref. 93044).

Biology     Glossary (e.g. epibenthic)

Inhabits streams of mountain valleys in areas with swift current over rocky and stony substrates, interspersed with sand and gravel in higher elevation reaches (1781 m asl) and in areas with slower current in the lower reaches (1274 m asl) (Ref. 93044).

Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5001   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00708 (0.00336 - 0.01491), b=3.01 (2.84 - 3.18), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  2.6   ±0.3 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilience (Ref. 120179):  Low, minimum population doubling time 4.5 - 14 years (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low vulnerability (13 of 100).
