Short description Morfología | Morfometría

Espinas dorsales (total): 0; Radios blandos dorsales (total): 7-8; Espinas anales 0; Radios blandos anales: 8 - 10. Diagnosis: Amphilius lujani is diagnosed from A. pedunculus, A. frieli and A. crassus by having a more slender caudal peduncle, its depth 8.1-9.5% of standard length vs. 9.9-12.3% (Ref. 103388). It is diagnosed from A. jacksonii by having a deeper caudal peduncle, its depth 8.1-9.5% of standard length vs. 4.8-7.9%, and a deeper body, body depth at anus 13.5-15.8% of standard length vs. 9.6-13.2%; it is diagnosed from A. ruziziensis by having a wider interorbital width, 28.3-31.7% of head length vs. 23.4-25.1%, and a deeper body, body depth at anus 13.5-15.8% of standard length vs. 11.1-12.9%; it is further diagnosed from A. frieli by having fewer gill rakers on the first gill arch, 6-8, rarely 5 or 9 vs. 10-11, rarely 9 or 12, and a longer caudal peduncle, its length 16.8-20.9% of standard length vs. 14.4-16.4%; it is further diagnosed from A. crassus by having more branched pectoral-fin rays, 9 vs. 7-8, rarely 9, and a longer caudal peduncle, its length 16.8-20.9% of standard length vs. 13.3-15.5% (Ref. 103388).

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=0.01000 (0.00244 - 0.04107), b=3.04 (2.81 - 3.27), in cm Total Length, based on all LWR estimates for this body shape (Ref. 93245).
Nivel trófico (Ref. 69278):  3.0   ±0.3 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resiliencia (Ref. 120179):  Medio, población duplicada en un tiempo mínimo de 1.4-4.4 años (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
