Biology     Glossary (e.g. epibenthic)

Facultative air-breathing in the genus (Ref. 126274); Currently known from three coastal river drainages in southeastern Brazil. Usually found in stretches of river with mid to strong water current and rocky or sandy bottom; although some specimens were collected from a lentic habitat (Ref. 43112).

Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.6250   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00589 (0.00241 - 0.01439), b=3.12 (2.90 - 3.34), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this Subfamily-BS (Ref. 93245).
Resilience (Ref. 120179):  High, minimum population doubling time less than 15 months (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low vulnerability (17 of 100).
