Short description Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics

Vertebrae: 4 - 33. This new species is distinguished from its congeners by the following set of characters: anal fin rays 3, 6; pectoral fin rays 1, 12-13 (modally 13); lateral-line scales 37-38 (modally 37); transverse scales 7; predorsal scales 10-11 (modally 10); gill rakers 16; vertebral counts 4 + 33-34; papillae lobes internally covered with clusters of 20-26 well-developed pearl-like papillae; a pair of barbels flat and slightly short, 16.2-18.4% of head length, maximum barbel diameter 27.0-29.8% of barbel lengthm and the medial pad on lower lip is divided. Colouration: body with five distinct black crossbars; 2 horizontally aligned black dashes above and below each lateral-line scale; caudal fin membrane with two rows of distinct verticallyaligned black lines (Ref. 119378).

Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = No PD50 data [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00550 (0.00237 - 0.01272), b=3.13 (2.96 - 3.30), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this Genus-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 3.2 ±0.4 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).
