Africa: Saint Paul River in Liberia (Ref. 2801, 2940, 13331, 81282). Ref. 13331 reports presence in Mano, Moa and Lofa rivers. May also be present in the Corubal River in Guinea-Bissau (Ref. 1440), but this needs to be confirmed (Ref. 2940, 81282).

Short description Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal soft rays (total): 14; Anal soft rays: 8. Diagnosis: dorsal profile arched; deep body; body depth 3.3-3.6x SL; depth of caudal peduncle 0.6-0.7x its length; numerous gill rakers: 57-69 (50-150mm) and 78 (150-250 mm); scale formula 5.5/36/4.5; 3.5-4.5 scales between lateral line and pelvic-fin base; 16 scales around caudal peduncle; 10 dorsal fin branched rays; known from Liberia (Ref. 2940, 81282).

Maximum TL was recorded at 21 cm (Ref. 2801). Affinities: distinguished from other Labeo species by its high body and the # and form of the gill rakers.

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=0.00724 (0.00313 - 0.01677), b=3.04 (2.87 - 3.21), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this Genus-body shape (Ref. 93245).

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).
