Short description Morfologia | Morfometria

Body deep, with depth at dorsal-fin origin 28.7-37.1% SL and depth at pectoral-fin insertion 32.2-39.3. Distinguished easily from its congeners by the extensive scaling over the caudal and anal fins. Differs from elongate-bodied Triportheus species that have 1 longitudinal scale row between the pectoral-fin insertion and the ventral keel by the presence of 2 longitudinal scale rows between the pectoral-fin insertion and the ventral keel. Differs further from deep-bodied congeners by the combination of the number of hill rakers on the lower limb of the first gill arch (24-28); the number of branched anal-fin rays (28-32); and the number of lateral-line scales (34-39) (Ref. 54769).

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=0.01000 (0.00244 - 0.04107), b=3.04 (2.81 - 3.27), in cm total length, based on all LWR estimates for this body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 2.8 ±0.3 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives

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