Issue
The species Barbus callensis figuigensis is considered valid in CofF ver. Jan 2012 following Azeroual et al. (2000: Ref. 39523). We postpone this change until a new complete taxonomic revision is published.
Environment: milieu / climate zone / depth range / distribution range Ecology
Freshwater; benthopelagic. Subtropical; 37°N - 20°N

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=0.01047 (0.00502 - 0.02185), b=2.99 (2.82 - 3.16), in cm Total Length, based on LWR estimates for this Genus-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 2.8 ±0.1 se; based on diet studies.
Resilience (Ref. 120179): Medium, minimum population doubling time 1.4 - 4.4 years (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low vulnerability (20 of 100).
