Short description Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal spines (total): 8 - 9; Dorsal soft rays (total): 9 - 11; Anal spines: 1; Anal soft rays: 8 - 11. Distinguished from other members of the genus by having deeper body. In addition, it differs also from most other species by having slightly smaller scales, with modal transverse scale count 13 or more based on 68% of 47 specimens (vs. usually 11-12 rows in most other species), zigzag scale count on the caudal peduncle usually 11 (vs. 9 in most other species); and more predorsal scales 23 or more based on 54% of 56 specimens (vs. usual count of less than 23 scales) (Ref. 77038).

Occurs usually in cool, clear, rainforest streams over mud and rocky bottoms (Ref. 77038). Attains at least 11.7 cm SL (Ref. 77038).

Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.5020 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01000 (0.00420 - 0.02379), b=3.08 (2.88 - 3.28), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 3.3 ±0.5 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).
