Short description
Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics
Vertebrae: 35. This species is distinguished from its congeners in the Indian subcontinent by the following swet of characters: an axe-shaped anterior nuchal plate element with extensive contact with the posterior nuchal plate; with plicae on the ventral surface of the pectoral-fin spine and outer rays of pelvic-fin rays; skin is sparsely tuberculated; dorsal-fin spine length 16.3-17.8% SL; thoracic adhesive apparatus elliptical, with lanceolate median depression, its length 16.2-20.7 % SL; predorsal length 36.2-38.1% SL; adipose-fin base length 16.5-18.1% SL; postadipose distance 16.2-17.4% SL; caudal peduncle depth 7.9-9.1% SL; nasal barbel do not reach the anterior margin of the eye; first branchial arch with 2-3 + 4-5 rakers; body with two longitudinal pale-cream stripes, one each along the mid-dorsal line and lateral line (Ref. 120896).

Estimates based on models
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = No PD50 data [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00813 (0.00369 - 0.01791), b=3.00 (2.83 - 3.17), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this Genus-body shape (Ref.
93245).
Trophic level (Ref.
69278): 3.1 ±0.4 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).
