Etymology: Sedercypris: Endemic to and named for the Sederberg (Cedarberg), Western Cape, South Africa, a Cape Fold mountain range in which rise streams and rivers tributary to the Olifants River system; the Afrikaans spelling of Sederberg is adopted for the name to avoid the possible confusion with the genus Cheilobarbus when the genus name is abbreviated to an initial in text.

Africa: Clanwilliam Olifants River system, western Cape in South Africa (Ref. 7248, 119402). Many populations have been reduced or extirpated by introduced alien bass (Ref. 7248).

Size / Weight / Age

Maturity: L_m ? range ? - ? cm
Max length : 8.2 cm SL male/unsexed; (Ref. 7248)

Prefers large, deep pools in clear streams. Feeds mainly on insects from the surface waters. Breeds in summer, males congregating in a nuptial school over vertical rock surfaces in flowing water. Closely related to the Twee River redfin Barbus erubescens (Ref. 7248).

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=0.01175 (0.00447 - 0.03086), b=3.01 (2.78 - 3.24), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 3.2 ±0.40 se; based on food items.

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).
