Short description Morphology | Morphometrics

Vertebrae: 33. Distinguished from other species of the genus Yunnanilus by the unique color pattern and the elongated papillae on upper and lower lips. Differs from closely related species Yunnanilus pleurotaenia by the following morphometric characters: standard length/body depth 4 .3-5.6 vs. 3.9-4.9; standard length/head length 4.4-5.1 vs. 3.7-3.9; standard length/caudal-peduncle length 5.7-7.1 vs. 7.7-9.1; head length/snout length 2.7-3.5 vs. 2.5-2.8; caudal-peduncle length/depth 1.2-1.7 vs. 1.1-1.2 (Ref. 76753).

Biology     Glossary (e.g. epibenthic)

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=0.00708 (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):  3.1   ±0.3 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilience (Ref. 120179):  Medium, minimum population doubling time 1.4 - 4.4 years (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
