Short description Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics

This is distinguished by the first dorsal fin with six spines in both sexes, the second dorsal fin and anal fin with one spine and ten segmented rays, 17 pectoral fin rays and preopercular pores M, N and O. There are 35-42 lateral series scales, no predorsal series scale, and 12-15 transverse back series scale.

Found in small, rapid and boulder-strewn mountain streams with rocky bottoms at altitudes ranging between 300 and 900 m asl. It is assumed to be amphidromous. The largest specimens observed was 5.68 cm for males, and 5.05 cm for females, standard length (Ref. 120563).

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=0.00389 (0.00180 - 0.00842), b=3.12 (2.94 - 3.30), in cm total length, based on all LWR estimates for this body shape (Ref. 93245).

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).
