Short description Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics

Vertebrae: 30. Body moderately elongate, anteriorly robust with slender caudal peduncle. Scales present only in lateral axillary patch behind root of pectoral fin, mostly contiguous but not fully imbricate. Males with first dorsal fin rays to origin of second dorsal fin when depressed, rear tip of second dorsal and anal fin to not more than half distance to upper and lower origins of caudal fin, respectively. Pectoral fin extends posteriorly to below rear end of first dorsal fin.

P. montenegrensis lives in the slow current shallows of the Moracă River and in pools remaining in gravel pits after river flooding. The substratum is like gravel, covered with fine sediment and overgrown by dense filamentous algae, within which gobies are concealed (Ref. 75173).

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=0.00977 (0.00442 - 0.02163), b=3.05 (2.86 - 3.24), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 3.3 ±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).
