Short description Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal spines (total): 1; Anal spines: 0. Diagnosis: two pairs of mandibular barbels; dorsal fin with a spine and 35 soft branched rays; pectoral with 7-8 branched rays; 7-8 branchiostegal rays on one side of head; 31-46 branched anal fin rays; dark mid-dorsal line continuing on upper half of caudal fin, sometimes somewhat bent downwards near posterior border of that fin; dark lateral line streak continues straight over caudal peducle and bends downwards slightly on caudal fin (Ref. 43912).

Feeds at least partly on insects and their larvae (Ref. 43912). Oviparous, eggs are unguarded (Ref. 205). Maximum reported total length 7.5 cm (Ref. 43912).

Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.5625 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00589 (0.00263 - 0.01321), b=3.02 (2.83 - 3.21), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 3.2 ±0.5 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives

Resilience (Ref. 120179): Low, minimum population doubling time 4.5 - 14 years (Assuming fec < 100).

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