Short description Morfologia | Morfometria

Raggi dorsali molli (totale): 11; Raggi anali molli: 23 - 24; Vertebre: 32. The following characters separate this species from all other Venezuelan congeners: dorsal fin with three unbranched and eight branched rays, except in Hyphessobrycon notidanos, Hyphessobrycon oritoensis, Hyphessobrycon fernandezi; maxilla short; maxilla with one pentacuspid tooth; dentary with eight teeth; premaxilla with 2-3 teeth in the outer row; lateral scales 28-29; predorsal scales 9; no sexual dimorphism; dark lateral band extending from the upper rear margin o the opercle to the caudal peduncle and continuing as a rhomboidal peduncular blotch onto the middle caudal fin rays (Ref. 79635).

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=0.01413 (0.00671 - 0.02974), b=3.08 (2.91 - 3.25), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 2.9 ±0.3 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives

Resilienza (Ref. 120179): Alto, tempo minimo di raddoppiamento della popolazione meno di 15 mesi (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
