Short description Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal soft rays (total): 7 - 9; Anal soft rays: 14 - 16; Vertebrae: 33 - 34. Atlantirivulus maricensis can be diagnosed from all other species of the genus Atlantirivulus by the following combination of characters: lateral line divided into two sections (vs. single); lateral line with one neuromast by scale (vs. lateral line often interrupted by scales without neuromasts); scales in the longitudinal series 33-35 (vs. 30-31); vertebrae 33-24 (vs. 31-32); caudal fin with 30-31 rays (vs. 25 - 29); small, horizontally elongated black spot on dorsal portion of caudal-fin base in females, not contacting fin margin (vs. female caudal spot never horizontally elongated, often triangular or rectangular, reaching fin margin, sometimes spot absent); flank with horizontal rows of red dots in males and small light brown spots in females (vs. never a similar color pattern, red pigmentation when present often forming irregular bars or reticulations in males); caudal fin in males greenish yellow, sub-dorsal and sub-ventral portions bright yellow, dorsal and marginal region diffuse orangish grey, posterior marginal portion diffuse pale greyish yellow (vs. never a similar color pattern); small red spots on the basal and posterior portions of the dorsal fin in males (vs. red spots absent).

Biology     Glossary (e.g. epibenthic)

Found in creek under a forest remnant and in small shallow stream, partially protected by a secondary forest remnant (Ref. 102354).

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=0.01122 (0.00514 - 0.02450), b=3.04 (2.87 - 3.21), in cm total length, based on all LWR estimates for this body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  3.2   ±0.4 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilience (Ref. 120179):  High, minimum population doubling time less than 15 months (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
