Short description Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal spines (total): 0; Dorsal soft rays (total): 10 - 13; Anal spines: 0; Anal soft rays: 8 - 9. Diagnosis: Arabibarbus arabicus has 29-38 scales in the lateral line, the wedge-shaped head is longer, 24.3-30.8% of standard length, and higher, 13.9-17.0% of standard length, than in Arabibarbus grypus (Ref. 96964). The body is strong and laterally flattened; the dorsal fin is high, 22.9-35.5% of standard length, and well ossified; the pectoral fins, 18.0-22.2% of standard length, and pelvic fins, 14.9-18.6% of standard length, are shorter than in Arabibarbus hadhrami (Ref. 96964).

Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.6250 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01000 (0.00244 - 0.04107), b=3.04 (2.81 - 3.27), in cm total length, based on all LWR estimates for this body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 3.0 ±0.4 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): Low vulnerability (21 of 100).
