Etymology: Brycon: Greek, ebrykon, brykomai = to bite, to gnaw (Ref. 45335).
Eponymy: We have been unable to identify this person and have little hope of doing so, as there is nothing in the original text or among Steindachner’s known associates and collectors to even make a reasonable guess. [...] (Ref. 128868), visit book page.

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=0.01585 (0.00889 - 0.02824), b=3.11 (2.96 - 3.26), in cm Total Length, based on LWR estimates for this species & 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): Medium, minimum population doubling time 1.4 - 4.4 years (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Moderate to high vulnerability (46 of 100).
