Short description Morphology | Morphometrics

The barbel has its single branch arising from the stem at 70-75% BL; the branch almost reaching the barbel tip, with small side filaments proximally and has a prominent bulblet and longer side filaments at 50-75% of branch length, ending with small filaments off bulblet. Terminal filament length 9-16% of distal barbel, nearly reaching barbel tip (Ref. 34246).

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=0.00302 (0.00117 - 0.00783), b=3.12 (2.89 - 3.35), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  4.2   ±0.8 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).
