Short description Morphology | Morphometrics

Moenkhausia pankilopteryx is distinguished from its congeners primarily by the putative autapomorphic presence of bony hooks on all fins of mature males. It is further distinguished from nearly all other members of the genus by the combination of 37–41 pored scales in the lateral line; a caudal-peduncle spot; a deep body, 43.3–51.0 % SL; two humeral spots, of which the first is black, larger and vertically elongate, and the second is dark, very diffuse, and not always visible; two to three maxillary teeth, and analfin rays ii–iv, 24–27 (Ref. 56145).

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=0.01202 (0.00517 - 0.02796), b=3.08 (2.91 - 3.25), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this Genus-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  3.5   ±0.5 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).
