Short description Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal spines (total): 20 - 22; Dorsal soft rays (total): 10 - 12; Anal spines: 3; Anal soft rays: 7 - 9. Distinguished by the following characters: 6 to 8 irregular blotches along the upper lateral line; lacking scattered dark spots on flanks; low number (47-55) of E1 scales; and a slightly prognathous lower jaw. Females possess a distinctive coloration of the dorsal fin, with a wide black longitudinal stripe on the distal portion with an equally wide red stripe below it (Ref. 85167).

Biology     Glossary (e.g. epibenthic)

Recorded both before and after the Urugua-í hydroelectrical dam was built in 1989. Presently inhabits also directly in the reservoir. Occurs in a moderately fast flowing river with tributaries of an average depth of 1 m outside of the dam influence and with bottom consisting of mud, sand with gravel and/or bedrock. Sympatric with Crenicichla yaha(Ref. 85167).

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=0.00813 (0.00354 - 0.01865), b=3.09 (2.91 - 3.27), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this Genus-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  3.2   ±0.5 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).
