Short description Morfologia | Morfometria

Raggi dorsali molli (totale): 8-9; Raggi anali molli: 12 - 13; Vertebre: 30. Diagnosed from all other congeners of the subgenus Melanorivulus in possessing 2+1 mandibular neuromasts. Differs from all species of Melanorivulus, except Rivulus violaceus by its caudal peduncle in both sexes with dark purplish gray spots and humeral region in males with a bright greenish blue blotch. Can be separated from Rivulus violaceus by having fewer dorsal-fin rays 8-9 (vs. 10-11) and fewer anal-fin rays 11-13 (vs. 14-15). Additional characters helpful in the identification of this species include: scales in the longitudinal series 30-31; flank with close red dots, arranged in chevron-like series with the vertex on the mid-lateral line; and caudal fin in males with red bars (Ref. 76975).

Found mostly in a shallow swamp, about 10-20 cm deep, within a forest (Ref. 76975).

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=0.00661 (0.00311 - 0.01404), b=3.09 (2.91 - 3.27), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 3.1 ±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 (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).

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