Etymology: Labeo: Latin, labeo = one who has large lips (Ref. 45335);  filiferus: Derived from the Latin 'filu', meaning thread, and 'fero', meaning to bear, in reference to the very long filamentous dorsal fin ray which reach above caudal fin base..

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

Max length : 20.0 cm SL male/unsexed; (Ref. 118139)

Short description Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal soft rays (total): 17; Anal soft rays: 7. Labeo filiferus is distinguished from all its congeners in having the following characters: body and fins black; prominent barbels; smaller eyes; longer snout; elongated dorsal fin, filamentous tip of which reach above caudal fin base; longer pelvic fin reaching behind anal fin origin; unusually elongated anal fin reaching the tip of middle caudal fin rays; and deeper caudal peduncle. It can be further differentiated from its relative species in possessing 39 lateral line scales, 15 predorsal scales, 8½ scales between lateral line and dorsal fin, and 5½ scales between lateral line and ventral fin (Ref. 118139).

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=0.00955 (0.00434 - 0.02104), b=3.04 (2.87 - 3.21), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this Genus-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Resilience (Ref. 120179):  Medium, minimum population doubling time 1.4 - 4.4 years (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low vulnerability (14 of 100).
