Etymology: Galaxias: Greek, galaxias, ou = a kind of fish (Ref. 45335); macronasus: A combination of Greek and Latin, from Greek macro (large), and the Latin nasus (nose). This combination is justified on grounds that it produces a euphonious and easily spelled name..

Short description Morfologi | Morfometri

Mjukstrålar i ryggfenan (totalt): 7-9; Mjukstrålar i analfenan: 7 - 11; Ryggkotor: 47 - 51. Distinguished from all other congeners in New Zealand in having only 4-6 pelvic fin rays and only 11-14 principal caudal rays (Galaxias pullus has 14 principal caudal rays, but has 7 pelvic fin rays, and is much more stoutly built; Galaxias cobitinis has only 5 pelvic fin rays, usually has 15 principal caudal fin rays, and has a distinctly protruding lower jaw). This species has distinctly rounded snout when viewed from both dorsal and lateral perspective (Ref. 75601).

Facultative air-breathing in the genus (Ref. 126274); Collected mainly from small gravelly riffles in small streams. This fish appears to be cryptic (Ref. 75601).

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=0.00490 (0.00205 - 0.01170), b=3.12 (2.91 - 3.33), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trofisk nivå (Ref. 69278): 3.2 ±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).
