Etymology: Labidesthes: Greek, labidos = pair of forceps + Greek esthio = to eat; in reference to the shape of the mouth (Ref. 45335);  sicculus: Name most likely from Latin 'sicula' meaning small dagger (see Ref. 104856). Others consider the origin of the name from the Latin 'siccus' meaning dried, referring to being found in dried pools (Ref. 10294, 79012).

Short description Morfologia | Morfometria

Spine dorsali (totale): 4 - 7; Raggi dorsali molli (totale): 8-12; Spine anali 1; Raggi anali molli: 19 - 27. This species is distinguished and differs from Labidesthes vanhyningi by the following characters: Labidesthes sicculus have the anterolateral processes of the posttemporals longer than width of the base (vs. L. vanhyningi having the processes shorter than width of base); with a midlateral stripe tapering to insertion of pectoral fin in advance of first dorsal fin (vs. maintaining width or usually expanding, to insertion of pectoral fin in advance of the first dorsal-fin); a ratio of thoracic length to abdominal length greater than 2 (vs. less than 2) (Ref. 104856).

Biologia     Glossario (es. epibenthic)

Occur near surface of lakes, ponds, and quiet pools of creeks and small to large rivers. Usually found in open water (Ref 5723, 10294). Feed on zooplankton, including copepods, cladocerans, and midge larvae (Ref. 10294).

Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.7500   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00437 (0.00232 - 0.00821), b=3.04 (2.87 - 3.21), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species & (Sub)family-body (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  3.4   ±0.45 se; based on food items.
Resilienza (Ref. 120179):  Alto, tempo minimo di raddoppiamento della popolazione meno di 15 mesi (K=3.70; tmax=2).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
