Short description Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal spines (total): 2; Dorsal soft rays (total): 7; Anal spines: 1; Anal soft rays: 5. Lithoxus jariensis is distinguished from its congeners L. surinamensis and L. pallidimaculatus by having an adipose fin (vs. adipose fin absent); from L. bovallii by the lack of an irregular concentration of chromatophores around the anal-fin origin and adjacent region (vs. present), and by having three dark bands in the caudal fin (vs. five dark bands); from L. lithoides and L. jantjae by having five branched rays in the anal fin (vs. four); from L. pallidimaculatus and L. raso by the lack of light spots on the body (vs. light spots on the body present); from L. jantjae by having 14 branched rays in the caudal fin (vs. 12); and from L. stocki by having medial premaxillary teeth with an enlarged and widened cusp (vs. cusps of all premaxillary teeth similar in size, not enlarged), and 5-8 dentary teeth (vs. 10-12). In addition, Lithoxus jariensis can be diagnosed from L. boujardi by having a greater adipose-spine length, 6.2-10.1% SL (vs. 3.6-4.7% SL), and by having a greater dorsal adipose-caudal distance, 12.0-16.5% SL (vs. 10.3-11.7% SL); from L. planquettei by smaller caudal peduncle depth, 7.6-8.7% SL (vs. 9.7-10.5% SL), and by having a straight adipose-fin spine (vs. a curved adipose-fin spine); and from L. stocki by having a shorter cleithral width, 27.8-31.2% SL (vs. 32.6-34.2% SL), and a greater dorsal-anal distance, 10.4-13.7% SL (vs. 8.8-10.4% SL) (Ref. 118148).

Biology     Glossary (e.g. epibenthic)

Facultative air-breathing in the genus (Ref. 126274); Inhabits the bottom of fast-flowing clear-water rivers of medium to large size. The bottom of the rivers consists of small to large rocks, loose stones, and sand (Ref. 118148).

Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5010   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01514 (0.00712 - 0.03216), b=2.97 (2.80 - 3.14), in cm Total Length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
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).
