Short description
Morphology | Morphometrics
Dorsal
soft rays
(total): 6;
Anal
soft rays: 5. Can be distinguished by the following unique combination of characters: adipose-fin base not confluent with caudal fin (vs. confluent); premaxillary tooth patches appear joined (vs. separate); lower lip connected to base of maxillary barbel by skin flap, without sulcus between them (vs. not connected, with sulcus); 6 upper + 7 lower branched caudalfin rays (vs. 7+8); dorsal fin i-5 (vs. i-7); anal fin ii-3 (vs. ii-8); pelvic-fin origin to anal-fin origin distance shorter than pelvic-fin origin to mouth distance (vs. equal); pectoral fin extending beyond pelvic-fin origin (vs. not reaching); origin of pelvic fin anterior to end of dorsal-fin base (vs. opposite to or posterior to end of dorsal-fin base); anus nearer to posterior end of pelvic-fin base than anal-fin origin (vs. nearer to anal-fin origin); anal-fin origin nearer to posterior end of pelvic-fin base than to caudal-fin base (vs. nearer to caudal-fin base); short interdorsal, tip of dorsal-fin reaching origin of adipose fin when depressed (vs. not reaching); snout length 49.1-52.9% HL; predorsal length 26.1-27.8% SL; head length 25.7-28.0% SL; head width 26.8- 27.2% SL; caudal peduncle length 22.4-26.2% SL; and caudal peduncle depth 4.8-6.6% SL (Ref. 75856).

Estimates of some properties based on models
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82805): PD
50 = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00589 (0.00297 - 0.01169), b=3.06 (2.88 - 3.24), in cm Total Length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref.
93245).
Trophic Level (Ref.
69278): 3.2 ±0.4 se; Based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilience (Ref.
69278): Medium, minimum population doubling time 1.4 - 4.4 years (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Vulnerability (Ref.
