Short description Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics

Diagnosis: Differentiated from all the other species in the H.-helerorhabdus-group by the following characters: a relatively deep body (depth 2.65-3.00 times in SL); seven to eight scales above the lateral line; a narrow, long maxilla with six to eight conical to tricuspid teeth, reaching up to the pupil; anal fin with 22 to 26 branched fin rays; males with hooklets in the distal part of anterior fin rays; 33-34 scales in a longitudinal line; lateral line relatively short, with seven pored scales. Color in live: a deep black lateral band from the gill cover to the end of middle caudal fin rays on two scales; adipose deep red; upper part of the iris also deep red; a remarkable sexual dichromatism (males with especially deep red margins of anal, caudal, dorsal and pelvic fins, females without red fin margins) (Ref. 57646).

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=0.01445 (0.00683 - 0.03057), b=3.08 (2.90 - 3.26), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 2.9 ±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).
