Short description Bestämningsnycklar | Morfologi | Morfometri

Taggstrålar i ryggfenan (totalt) : 1; Taggstrålar i analfenan: 0. Diagnosis: gill slits not extending ventrally beyond pectoral-fin insertions; snout over 50% of head length and over 80% of head width; post-ocular length less than 30% of head length; maxillary barbels slightly shorter than head, bearing externally some short and simple ramifications and a broad basal membrane; outer and inner mandibular barbels with numerous tuberculate ramifications; mandibular teeth long, numbering 6-9 (8 in the lectotype); pectoral-fin spines weakly denticulate on inner margin and very slightly crenulated externally; dorsal-fin spine smooth anteriorly and prolonged into a filament; humeral process deep, blunt, granulose and not keeled ventrally; adipose fin long, low and rather close to rayed dorsal fin (Ref. 57223). Coloration: general appearance rather dark, with ventral areas lighter; outer margins of caudal-fin lobes black-edged (Ref. 57223).

Oviparous (Ref. 205). Maximum total length 323mm (Ref. 57223).

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=0.00933 (0.00303 - 0.02871), b=3.05 (2.80 - 3.30), in cm Total Length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).

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

Resiliens (Ref. 120179): Mellan, lägsta populationsfördubblingstid 1,4-4,4 år (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low vulnerability (24 of 100).
