Short description Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal soft rays (total): 8-10; Anal spines: 1; Anal soft rays: 8 - 10; Vertebrae: 31 - 33. Diagnosed from all other species of Luciogobius by having the following combination of characters: eye small and degenerated, embedded beneath skin, obscured after fixation; body naked, without scales; dermal ridge on cheek lacking barbels; second dorsal-fin origin slightly anterior to anal fin; pelvic fin present; no free soft rays on upper and lower ends of pectoral fin; second dorsal-fin rays modally I,9; anal-fin rays modally I,9; branched caudal-fin rays modally 8+7; vertebrae modally 16+16=32; interorbit region flat; maximum width of head at cheek 11.5% in SL; upper jaw length 8.5% in SL; 37.4% in head length; predorsal length 307.4% in head length; and preanal length 315.8% in head length (Ref. 86963).

Biology     Glossary (e.g. epibenthic)

Found in the middle reaches of river on a gravel substrate composed of pebbles of 3-5 cm in diameter and containing less than 5% of sand, where freshwater springs flow from between the pebbles (Ref. 86963).

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=0.00977 (0.00442 - 0.02163), b=3.05 (2.86 - 3.24), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  3.2   ±0.4 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).
