Common names: [No common name]
Occurrence: native
Salinity: freshwater
Abundance: scarce (very unlikely) | Ref: Costa, W.J.E.M., 2014
Importance: | Ref:
Aquaculture: | Ref:
Regulations: | Ref:
Uses: no uses
Comments: Found only in the area of the type locality, close to the road BR-349, about 12 km W from the town of Bom Jesus da Lapa. Another specimen was caught in a pool near the village of Malhada, about 135 km S of the type locality, suggesting a wider geographical distribution in the middle São Franciso basin. This species should be classified as endangered due to its rarity and the highly deforested state of the area of the type locality (Ref. 97357).

Etymology: Cynolebias: Greek, kyon = dog + Greek, odous = teeth + Greek, lebias = a kind of small fish (Ref. 45335); ochraceus: From the Latin adjective ochraceus (ochre), referring to the predominant color in males..

Short description Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal soft rays (total): 14-18; Anal soft rays: 17 - 20; Vertebrae: 33 - 34. Cynolebias ochraceus can be diagnosed from C. gilbertoi, the only other member of the C. gilbertoi group, by having 33 vertebrae (vs. 31-32), flank light yellow ochre and anal fin orange-yellow ochre in males (vs. flank pale pinkish brown or light brown, anal fin pink or pinkish grey), and tip of anal-fin filaments reaching basal portion of caudal fin in males (vs. reaching posterior half of caudal fin). It can be further distinguished from C. gilbertoi by having 29-31 caudal-fin rays (vs. 26-29) and 9-12 vomerine teeth (vs.11-16), body depth 35.0-37.8% SL in males (vs. 32.5-35.4% SL), and larger maximum adult size (5.7 cm SL vs. 3.7 cm SL) (Ref. 97357).

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=0.00891 (0.00396 - 0.02008), b=3.14 (2.94 - 3.34), 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. 120179): High, minimum population doubling time less than 15 months (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).

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