Size / Weight / Age
Maturity: Lm ?  range ? - ? cm
Max length : 45.0 cm TL male/unsexed; (Ref. 12693)
Dorsal-fin with 9 branched rays; often with sharp scraping edge on lower lip; no black lateral stripe (Ref. 12693).
Inhabits pools of clear forested streams and rivers. Often develops a sharp edge on the lower jaw, which is used for scraping rocks as it grazes (Ref. 12693).

Estimates based on models
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00427 (0.00195 - 0.00935), b=3.11 (2.90 - 3.32), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref.
93245).
Resilience (Ref.
120179): Medium, minimum population doubling time 1.4 - 4.4 years (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref.
59153): Low to moderate vulnerability (35 of 100).
Nutrients (Ref.
124155): Calcium = 491 [98, 2,204] mg/100g; Iron = 1.77 [0.66, 4.37] mg/100g; Protein = 17.2 [15.3, 19.1] %; Omega3 = 0.229 [0.104, 0.515] g/100g; Selenium = 48.8 [20.0, 106.4] μg/100g; VitaminA = 69.5 [27.5, 167.7] μg/100g; Zinc = 2.84 [1.35, 5.25] mg/100g (wet weight);
