Short description
Morphology | Morphometrics
Dorsal
soft rays
(total): 9-10;
Anal
soft rays: 12 - 14. Complete lateral line; 2 pairs of barbels, rostral barbel slightly shorter than the eye diameter, maxillary barbel much shorter; infraorbital process rudimentary or absent; caudal peduncle 1.3-1.6 times longer than deep; head relatively slender in lateral view, with a small hump on nape; cleithral spot present; 3 or 4 dark bluish stripes on side (Ref. 36949). In specimens larger than about 3 cm SL, stripes irregular anteriorly, sometimes zigzag shaped or dissociated into series of spots, spots of different series can be connected (Ref. 43281).

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=0.00724 (0.00333 - 0.01574), b=3.07 (2.89 - 3.25), in cm Total Length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref.
93245).
Trophic Level (Ref.
69278): 3.0 ±0.4 se; Based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilience (Ref.
69278): High, minimum population doubling time less than 15 months (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Vulnerability (Ref.
59153): Low vulnerability (15 of 100) .
