Short description Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal soft rays (total): 10; Anal soft rays: 9. Distinguished from its congeners by the unique combination of the following characters: dorsal fin rays 3+7, anal fin rays 3+6, pectoral fin rays 1+13-14; lateral-line scales 34-35, predorsal scale rows 10-11; body robust, the transverse rows of papillae on snout loosely arranged and maxillary barbels short and about equal to 1/2 of eye diameter and body greenish-silver on dorsal and silver-white on ventral side; body scale pocket, with grayish posterior margin, has net-like patterns; body with a longitudinal grayish stripes; all fins translucent; dorsal and caudal in with minute black spots; other odd fins unmarked (Ref. 57944).

Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5001   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00525 (0.00240 - 0.01146), b=3.12 (2.95 - 3.29), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this Genus-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).
