Short description Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal soft rays (total): 12; Anal soft rays: 8; Vertebrae: 32 - 33. Psilorhynchus kaladanensis is a member of the P. balitora species group and can be distinguished by having a greatly reduced anteriormost branchiostegal ray and a post-epiphysial fontanelle that is smaller than the preepiphysial fontanelle. It differs from all other species of the P. balitora species group in having the following combination of characters: caudal fin with small but distinct dark brown triangular spot at mid-base; slightly elongated dark mark near base of lower lobe; indistinct V-shaped vertical bar across center, dark brown oblique bar across fin anterior to center; 5-6 unbranched pectoral-fin rays; 10+9 principal caudal-fin rays; 30-32 scales on lateral line; 3 branchiostegal rays; 32-33 total vertebrae; no scales on mid-ventral region between pectoral fins; no larger scales at pelvic-fin origin (Ref. 102605).

Biology     Glossary (e.g. epibenthic)

Inhabits moderate to fast flowing water with sparse vegetation and a substrate of pebbles, sand, gravel and small boulders (Ref. 102605).

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=0.00417 (0.00179 - 0.00969), b=3.17 (2.96 - 3.38), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  3.0   ±0.2 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
