Short description Chiavi di identificazione | Morfologia | Morfometria

Raggi dorsali molli (totale) : 11 - 12; Raggi anali molli: 8; Vertebre: 38. Leptobotia micra is diagnosed from all its congeners by a combination of the following characters: absence of dark bars or dorsal saddles on body; a row of white dots along dorsal midline; 4+34 vertebrae; predorsal distance 58.1-59.0% SL; eye diameter 1.8?2.0% SL; pelvic fins not reaching anus; caudin fin emarginate (length of median rays 1.3?1.4 times in length of lower lobe); and the anus positioned distinctly closer to anal-fin origin than to pelvic-fin base (Ref. 116421).

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=0.00759 (0.00328 - 0.01756), b=3.04 (2.86 - 3.22), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this Genus-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 3.2 ±0.4 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives

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