Etymology: Hypsibarbus: Greek, hypsi = high + Latin, barbus = barbel (Ref. 45335).
Eponymy: Dr Chote Suvatti (d: 1904) was a Thai ichthyologist, biologist, botanist, malacologist and illustrator. [...] (Ref. 128868), visit book page.
Environment: milieu / climate zone / depth range / distribution range
Ecology
Freshwater; benthopelagic. Tropical
Asia: Annam in Viet Nam, South-East Thailand, South-West Cambodia and Mae Khlong basin in Thailand (Ref. 26580). Possibly occurs in the Mekong but has not yet been recorded there (Ref. 12693).
Size / Weight / Age
Maturity: Lm ?  range ? - ? cm
Max length : 35.0 cm SL male/unsexed; (Ref. 12693)
Has 4 horizontal scale rows between lateral line and mid-dorsal scale row at dorsal-fin origin; 7-8 gill rakers on first arch (Ref. 12693).
Found in medium to large upland rivers and probably migrates into smaller streams during rainy season (Ref. 12693).

Estimates based on models
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 0.5005 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01122 (0.00521 - 0.02417), b=3.02 (2.85 - 3.19), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref.
93245).
Trophic level (Ref.
69278): 3.0 ±0.3 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 to moderate vulnerability (33 of 100).
