Short description Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics

Anterior nostril pierced on front side of a flap; processus dentiformis present; shallow median notch in both upper and lower lips; lower jaw with a shallow notch; lateral line from complete to reaching only level of pelvic-fin origin; anus about 1-2 eye diameters in front of anal-fin origin; 8.5 branched dorsal-fin rays; 5.5 branched anal-fin rays; caudal fin emarginate, with 8+8 branched rays; axillary pelvic lobe present; body with 11-16 bars, wider than interspaces; a broad midlateral stripe superimposed on bars; in some specimens bars fainter, in other stripe very faint; black bar at caudal-fin base complete, usually quite faint, a small black spot at base of anterior dorsal rays (Ref. 36949).

Known from small forest creeks to main rivers (Ref. 36949).

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=0.00692 (0.00310 - 0.01545), b=3.02 (2.85 - 3.19), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this Genus-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 3.0 ±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.).

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
