Short description
Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics
Dorsal spines (total): 7; Dorsal soft rays (total): 8; Anal spines: 1; Anal soft rays: 8. Diagnosis: Eleotris diamsoi is distinguished by second, third and fourth suborbital free neuromast rows on cheek extending ventrally past horizontal row 'd' ('2.3.4' pattern); row 'os' connected with row 'oi' at ventro-posterior margin of operculum ('closed' pattern); 16 pectoral fin rays; 63 scales in lateral series; a small body depth at anal and second dorsal fins origins, 15-18% of standard length (Ref. 123271). Eleotris diamsoi differs from other species of the Indian Ocean with a '2.3.4' pattern by several characters: it differs from E. soaresi in having 16 pectoral fin rays vs. 17-18, more scales in lateral series, 63 vs. 50-56, and in zigzag series, 14 vs. 12-13, and a smaller body depth at anal fin origin, 15-18% of standrad length vs. 20-21%; it differs from E. valadei in having 16 pectoral fin rays vs. 18, fewer scales in predorsal series in males, 36-38 vs. 45-50, fewer scales in transverse forward series, 17-23 vs. 27-30, and a smaller body depth at anal fin origin, 15-18% of standard length vs. 19-24% (Ref. 123271).

Estimates based on models
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = No PD50 data [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00832 (0.00345 - 0.02005), b=3.10 (2.91 - 3.29), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this Genus-body shape (Ref.
93245).
Trophic level (Ref.
69278): 3.4 ±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).
