Biologia     Glossario (es. epibenthic)

It is typical of rapidly flowing waters, in cascades and creeks with sandy-rocky bottoms, where it is very abundant. Can also be found in calm waters. It can escape its predators by effecting dramatic leaps out of the water. It is a gregarious species which swims constantly near the surface of the water, on the look out for its food in the company of Bryconops melanurus (Ref. 12225).

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=0.01202 (0.00517 - 0.02796), b=3.08 (2.91 - 3.25), in cm Total Length, based on LWR estimates for this Genus-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  3.5   ±0.5 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilienza (Ref. 120179):  Alto, tempo minimo di raddoppiamento della popolazione meno di 15 mesi (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
