Korte beschrijving
Morfologie | Morfometrie
Two terminal bulbs separated by a long interspace, 0.6-1.8 times the length of distal bulb. Barbel length 76-92% SL. Short filaments 5-9 (less than 6% SL) without prominent bulblets, arising together from distal bulb or from a short distal stem; 1 filament thicker and longer than the rest. Some or all filaments with pigmented axes. Distal bulb long about twice as long as wide, with almost straight, parallel margins,1.5-2.5 times proximal-bulb length. Axis of stem and between bulbs with or without pigment; a black spot at proximal end of distal bulb in those with pigment. External chevron-shaped or roundish striated areas on stem unpigmented. Middorsal paired spots between occiput and dorsal-fin origin 8 (Ref. 11333).

Estimates based on models
Preferred temperature (Ref.
123201): 11.6 - 17, mean 14.9 °C (based on 27 cells).
Fylogenetische diversiteitsindex (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 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).
Trofisch niveau (Ref.
69278): 4.2 ±0.8 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Weerstandsvermogen (Ref.
120179): Hoog, minimale populatieverdubbelingstijd minder dan 15 maanden (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref.
