Short description
Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics
Dorsal soft rays (total): 12; Anal soft rays: 8. Differs from its congeners in Indochina by the combination o the following characters: body with 6-11 dark bars, regularly shaped and set; black bar at caudal fin base complete, without triangular pads at each extremity; small median incision in upper lip; incomplete lateral line reaching between dorsal fin base and anal fin base; processus dentiformis slender; axillary pelvic lobe not reduced and pelvic fin origin slightly anterior to dorsal fin origin or below simple dorsal fin rays (Ref. 40772).

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=0.00692 (0.00310 - 0.01545), b=3.02 (2.85 - 3.19), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this Genus-body shape (Ref.
93245).
Trophic level (Ref.
69278): 3.0 ±0.3 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).
