Short description Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal soft rays (total): 12; Anal soft rays: 32 - 35; Vertebrae: 34. Brachychalcinus reisi is distinguished from all other species of the genus by having a series of dark, conspicuous, wavy longitudinal stripes on the entire body (vs. longitudinal dark wavy stripes absent or restricted to middorsal portion of body) and by having 7-8 longitudinal scale rows between dorsal-fin origin and lateral line (vs. 8-12). In addition, it is diagnosed from B. copei (Steindachner, 1883), B. retrospina Boulenger, 1892 and B. parnaibae by having 9 branched dorsal-fin rays (vs. 10-11). It can be differentiated from B. nummus Böhlke, 1958 and B. orbicularis (Valenciennes, 1850) by having 8-9 horizontal scale rows between the lateral line and pelvic-fin origin (vs. 10-11). It further differs from B. nummus by having numerous paralleled arranged scale radii (vs. few divergent arranged scale radii) (Ref. 118114).

Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5156   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01413 (0.00671 - 0.02974), b=3.08 (2.91 - 3.25), in cm Total Length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  3.1   ±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).
