Short description Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics

Distinguished from all congeners by the following combination of characters: dorsal fin with 7 branched rays; anal fin with 5 branched rays; pectoral fin with 10-11 branched rays; pelvic fin with 7-8 branched rays; caudal fin with 13-17 branched rays; head compressed; eyes present ; surface of lower lip covered with shallow longitudinal groove; dorsal-fin origin opposite or posterior to vertical line of pelvic-fin origin; caudal peduncle without caudal-adipose keels; edge of caudal fin rounded; scales present; cephalic lateral-line system developed; lateral line incomplete, w with 7-13 pores; a dark brown stripe present along lateral line; posterior chamber of air-bladder developed, extending to nearly pelvic-fin origin (Ref. 87717).

Found in caves (Ref. 87717).

Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00724 (0.00347 - 0.01512), b=3.01 (2.83 - 3.19), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 2.8 ±0.3 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives

Resilience (Ref. 120179): Medium, minimum population doubling time 1.4 - 4.4 years (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
