Teleostei (teleosts) > Siluriformes (Catfishes) > Claroteidae (Claroteid catfishes) > Auchenoglanidinae
Etymology: Notoglanidium: Greek, noton = back + Greek, glanis = a fish that can eat the bait without touching the hook; a cat fish; diminutive (Ref. 45335); depierrei: Named in honour of D. Depierre, collector of the type specimens (Ref. 94168).

Short description Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal spines (total): 2; Dorsal soft rays (total): 9-10; Anal spines: 0; Anal soft rays: 25 - 28; Vertebrae: 47 - 50. Diagnosis: postanal region elongated, resulting in a higher vertebral count, 47-50 (vs. 36-40)(Ref. 94168). 25-28 total anal-fin rays (Ref. 81642, 94168). Distance between bases of anal and caudal fins 4.6-6.9% of standard length; pre-dorsal body depth small, i.e. 6.9-12.0% of standard length; 9-10 soft dorsal-fin rays; interorbital distance 18.2-23.7% of head length; combined premaxillary tooth plate of average width, 18.2-29.1% of head length (Ref. 94168).

Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.5020 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00102 (0.00046 - 0.00225), b=3.06 (2.88 - 3.24), in cm total length, based on all LWR estimates for this body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 3.4 ±0.6 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 (11 of 100).

Price category (Ref. 80766): Unknown.
