Short description Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics
Dorsal soft rays (total): 7 - 9; Anal soft rays: 7 - 8; Vertebrae: 30 - 32. This species is distinguished from its congeners by the following set of characters: 39-44 longitudinal scale series along the body; 13-17 pored lateral line scales; 20-23 predorsal scales; and 4-5 gill rakers on the lower limb of the first gill arch (with 2-3 rudimentary rakers at the rear) and 30-32 vertebrae (Ref. 138473).
Body shape (shape guide): elongated; Cross section: oval.
Body shape (shape guide): elongated; Cross section: oval.
This species inhabits slow-moving to fast-flowing streams, among stones and aquatic plants (Ref. 138473).

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=0.00977 (0.00432 - 0.02212), b=3.10 (2.92 - 3.28), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this Genus-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 2.7 ±0.3 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.).
