Short description Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal soft rays (total): 6; Anal soft rays: 37 - 46; Vertebrae: 49. This species can be distinguished from its congeners (except A. pardalis and A. ucayalensis) by having an upper jaw that overhangs the lower jaw by a distance greater than the horizontal eye diameter (vs. less than the horizontal eye diameter). It is further distinguished by the following set of characters: reduced and ossified gas bladder (vs. large, non-ossified gas bladder) and by having epaxial musculature that covers the tympanic region (vs.tympanic region translucent, not concealed by epaxial musculature) in A. pardalis; robust pectoral spine, rigid and sharp (vs. pectoral spine slender, becoming progressively segmented in individuals larger than about 100 mm SL) and 45 vertebrae (vs. 53-55) in A. ucayalensis; anal-fin rays 37-46, mode 42 (vs. 32–38, mode 34-35) in A. lineatus; deeply forked caudal fin (vs. caudal fin strongly emarginate to truncate in A. inermis, A. magoi, A. polystictus and A. vittatus); more gill rakers on the first branchial arch 15-20, mode=18 (vs. 13-16, mode=14) and by usually having a dark band on the distal margin of the caudal-fin rays (vs. distal margin of caudal-fin rays hyaline) in A. apiaka (Ref. 124585).

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=0.00813 (0.00369 - 0.01791), b=3.00 (2.82 - 3.18), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this Genus-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 3.7 ±0.6 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 (24 of 100).
