Short description Morfologia | Morfometria

Raggi dorsali molli (totale): 11; Vertebre: 35. Charax awa can be diagnosed by the following combination of characters: orbital diameter 22.1-28.5% HL; snout length 23.3-32.8% HL; 15-18 scales around the caudal peduncle; 35 vertebrae; lateral line complete; toothless ectopterygoid; origin of anal fin always anterior to the vertical through the origin of dorsal fin; 15-18 scale rows from the dorsal-fin origin to the lateral line; 11-12 scale rows from the pelvic-fin origin to the lateral line; 8-10 transverse scale rows in space from the humeral spot to the supracleithrum; maxilla extending to a vertical line posterior to pupil, near the pos¬terior orbital margin; and humeral spot distance 35.8-38.0 % SL (Ref. 117313).

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=0.01479 (0.00659 - 0.03318), b=3.06 (2.87 - 3.25), in cm Total Length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  3.8   ±0.6 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).
