Short description Morphology | Morphometrics

Vertebrae: 44 - 46. Diagnosis: Distinguished from its congeners by the combination of the following characters: 2 pairs of barbels; snout rounded; 69-80 lateral line scales; 14-17 scales rows between lateral line and dorsal-fin origin. 12-14 between lateral line and anal-fin origin; 19-23 gill rakers on the first gill arch; lower jaw slightly arched in males, straight in females; head length 23.3-26.7% SL; depth of caudal peduncle 10.8-13.4% SL; head width at posterior margin of eye 49.3-56.5% HL; snout depth at nostril 30.0-41.1 % HL; length of anterior barbel 8.1-14.1 % HL and posterior barbel 11.5-19.3% HL (Ref. 57640).

Inhabits swift flowing water, with cobbles and pebbles bottom (Ref. 57640).

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=0.00977 (0.00569 - 0.01680), b=3.03 (2.88 - 3.18), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for species & Genus-BS (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 2.5 ±0.2 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives

Generation time: 16.9 ( na - na) years. Estimated as median ln(3)/K based on 1 growth studies.

Resilience (Ref. 120179): Medium, minimum population doubling time 1.4 - 4.4 years (tm=1-3; K=0.06; Fec>10,000).

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low to moderate vulnerability (26 of 100).
