Short description Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal spines (total): 1; Dorsal soft rays (total): 4-5; Anal soft rays: 8 - 11; Vertebrae: 31 - 35. Can be differentiated from its congeners in the following characters: lacking distinct serrae on posterior edge of pectoral spine; adipose fin with moderately long base, its length 13.4-16.7 %SL; eye diameter 7-10 %HL; length of nasal barbel 38-57 %HL; tip of snout noticeably in front of apex of lower jaw; large anterior and posterior nostrils present, closely situated together and separated only by base of nasal barbel; caudal fin with 7+7-8 rays; branchiostegal rays 6-7; a light yellow snout with a sharp contrasted edge; color pattern consisting of dorsal and ventral light yellow patches on the body that sometimes coalesce at mid-height of the flank (Ref. 37037).

Biology     Glossary (e.g. epibenthic)

Akysis inermis has been found in various habitats from swift creek to riffles in streams and rapids in large rivers. All habitats had in common a stony (gravel to boulder) substrate and relatively swift current. In most of them the water was clear in the dry season (Ref. 37037).

Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5001   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00389 (0.00180 - 0.00842), b=3.12 (2.94 - 3.30), 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
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
