Short description
Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics
Crossocheilus microstoma is diagnosed from all its congeners by the following combination
of characters: edge of upper lip with projections; lower lip square in shape, width approximately equal to length; maxillary barbels long, clearly exposed (approximately 1/2 to 2/3 of eye diameter); black midlateral stripe from tip of snout to caudal-fin base, ending in distinct black spot at caudal-fin base; mouth width 18.3-20.0% HL (Ref. 116015)

50 = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00933 (0.00435 - 0.02001), b=3.05 (2.88 - 3.22), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref.

Trophic level (Ref.
69278): 2.5 ±0.2 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.
