Short description Morfologia | Morfometria

Phenacobius mirabilis is distinguished by having the following characters: bicolored body, olive-brown above, silver white below; large fleshy lips; caudal fin base with intense black spot following thin dark stripe along side of body; 42-51 scales on lateral line; 15-17 scales around caudal peduncle; thin dark stripe along black; darkly outlined scales on black and upper side (Ref. 86798)

Inhabits gravel and rubble riffles and runs of clear to turbid creeks and small to medium, sometimes large rivers (Ref. 5723, 10294). Feeds on insect larvae (Ref. 79012).

Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.5312 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00501 (0.00232 - 0.01084), b=3.13 (2.94 - 3.32), in cm Total Length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 2.9 ±0.4 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives

Resilienza (Ref. 120179): Alto, tempo minimo di raddoppiamento della popolazione meno di 15 mesi (tmax=3).

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