Short description Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal spines (total): 2; Dorsal soft rays (total): 6; Anal spines: 2; Anal soft rays: 5. Occiput yellowish; 6 black broad bands from occiput to the base of caudal fin; tip of caudal fin rays tinged red; lower lobe of caudal fin more blackish than the upper lobe; belly pale white; fins with black bands: pectoral (5), pelvic (3), dorsal (2-3), anal (2), and caudal (3). Closer insertion of dorsal fin to the base of caudal fin than the tip of snout, insertion of dorsal fin behind the origin of pelvic fin. Pelvic fins short, about 3/4 as long as pectoral fin. Forked caudal fin with equal lobes and 19 branched rays. Caudal fin more or less same as head length. Eye diameter 33.33-49.75% snout length and 15.39-22.7% in HL (Ref. 44442).

Inhabits fast flowing parts of hill streams and rivers; on water bodies full of shingles, pebbles, stones and rocky (Ref. 44442).

Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.5002 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00708 (0.00314 - 0.01595), b=3.04 (2.85 - 3.23), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 3.4 ±0.4 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
