Short description Bestämningsnycklar | Morfologi | Morfometri

Mjukstrålar i ryggfenan (totalt) : 12 - 14; Mjukstrålar i analfenan: 215 - 260. This species can be distinguished from all congeners in the 'Gymnotus carapo group clade' by the following set of characters: unique set of characters of uncertain polarity, including the number of prominent dark bands along the body, dark bands along body 3-4 times wider than pale interbands, with almost straight margins (never broken anteriorly into irregular dark spots), and bands almost uniform in color; number of scales above lateral line; number of lateral-line perforated scales to first ventral ramus; number of total pored lateral-line scales; head length; snout length; body depth; number of anal-fin rays; number of pectoral-fin rays; number of precaudal vertebrae; number of teeth on anterior row of premaxilla; and number of teeth along outer row of dentary (Ref. 128926).

Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = No PD50 data [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00437 (0.00209 - 0.00911), b=2.98 (2.79 - 3.17), in cm Total Length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trofisk nivå (Ref. 69278): 3.3 ±0.4 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives

Resiliens (Ref. 120179): Hög, lägsta populationsfördubblingstid mindre än 15 månader (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).

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