Short description
Claves de identificación | Morfología | Morfometría
Espinas dorsales (total) : 7; Radios blandos dorsales (total) : 10; Espinas anales: 1; Radios blandos anales: 9 - 10.
Body shape (shape guide): fusiform / normal.
Found abundant in rivers of coastal volcanic topography (Ref. 12113). Adults spawn in rivers with coarse substrate, building nests under stones (Ref. 33036).
Life cycle and mating behavior
Madurez | Reproducción | Puesta | Huevos | Fecundidad | Larva
Excavates nests below the gravel bottom. Male provides most of the parental care. Newly hatched larve emerge from nests upon hatching and enter the river plankton. They migrate to the sea where they stay for 50-150 days before re-entering the rivers as postlarvae.

Estimates based on models
Phylogenetic diversity index (Referencia
82804): PD
50 = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01122 (0.00514 - 0.02450), b=3.04 (2.87 - 3.21), in cm total length, based on all LWR estimates for this body shape (Ref.
93245).
Resiliencia (Referencia
120179): Bajo, población duplicada en un tiempo mínimo de 4.5-14 años (Assuming Tmax is > 11 (Bell, pers. comm.).).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref.
59153): Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
