Short description Bestämningsnycklar | Morfologi | Morfometri

Phenacobius mirabilis is distinguished by having the following characters: bicolored body, olive-brown above, silver white below; large fleshy lips; caudal fin base with intense black spot following thin dark stripe along side of body; 42-51 scales on lateral line; 15-17 scales around caudal peduncle; thin dark stripe along black; darkly outlined scales on black and upper side (Ref. 86798)

Biologi     Ordlista (t.ex. epibenthic)

Inhabits gravel and rubble riffles and runs of clear to turbid creeks and small to medium, sometimes large rivers (Ref. 5723, 10294). Feeds on insect larvae (Ref. 79012).

Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5312   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00501 (0.00242 - 0.01036), b=3.11 (2.92 - 3.30), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trofisk nivå (Ref. 69278):  2.9   ±0.4 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resiliens (Ref. 120179):  Hög, lägsta populationsfördubblingstid mindre än 15 månader (tmax=3).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
